Cisco Data Center switches: Nexus and Catalyst series switches

Nexus 7000, 1, 10, and 40 switches and ws-c2960s-48fps-l 100GB Ethernet (GbE) scalability, up to 17TBps, can be well applied to the data center, Cisco said Kiran. The new Nexus Cisco 7700 and 7000 series has a similar feature set, with 10, 40 and100 GbE ports, but provide up to 83Tbps. "We each line card increases the throughput, is almost 2.5 times before, so this is a significant improvement in performance," Kiran said cisco.

Nexus 7700 switch series is also more environmentally friendly. 3KW supportto provide electricity for energy efficiency, allocation more flexible, fan wheelswitch according to the temperature adjustment. "The exchange energy consumption reduced by 33%," Kiran said.

Energy efficient hardware to those in the lack of energy or expensive areaproviders with exceptionally attractive, ESG senior analyst Bob Laliberte said.

In the high density data center, Cisco provides the options, but limited areas,virtualization and cloud environment provides the Nexus 6000 series. Thisswitch offers 10, 40GbE scalability, and lower price, compact structure. "Unlike the large frame type switch, the 6000 is built for a specific purpose, have a fixed function, so the provider cannot like more switches that mixing and matching function," Hanselman said 451.

Although the investment protection and expansibility is very important, but many providers use the Catalyst switch in its environment. Although the market is now Cisco Catalyst main product line for the campus, but the Catalyst 6800(Catalyst switches the latest) can also be used in the data center, Hanselman.

Catalyst series can also have buy ws-c3560x-48p-s the same Cisco Nexux switches to provide similarfunctions, but the provider may have Catalyst switch to invest more, to achieve higher levels of throughput, Hanselman explained.
