Data Center Switches

Switching Designed for Your Data Center

The Cisco Nexus family of switches is designed to meet the stringent requirements of the next-generation data center. Not simply bigger or faster, these switches offer the following advantages:

• Infrastructure that can be scaled cost-effectively and that helps you increase energy, budget, and resource efficiency
• Transport that can navigate the transition to 10 Gigabit Ethernet and unified fabric and can handle architectural changes such as virtualization, Web 2.0 applications, and cloud computing
• Operational continuity to meet your need for an environment where system availability is assumed and maintenance windows are rare, if not totally extinct

All these switches use NX-OS Software, an operating system designed specifically for the data center and engineered for high availability, scalability, and flexibility.
