Description
Build a Next-Generation Network
Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switches create the network foundation for your next-generation Unified Fabric data center. Modular switches, including the Cisco Nexus 7000 and 7700 Series, deliver a comprehensive Cisco NX-OS feature set and open source programmable tools for software-defined network (SDN) deployments. They offer high-density 10, 40, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet with application awareness and performance analytics
Features and Capabilities
High Performance with Comprehensive Feature Set
Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switches offer one of the most comprehensive data center network feature sets in a single platform. They offer high performance, high port density, and a full feature set for data center aggregation, end-of-row, and data center interconnect (DCI) deployments in a highly resilient modular platform.
The Cisco Nexus 7000 Series runs on Cisco NX-OS Software. It was specifically developed for the most mission-critical enterprise and service provider deployments.
The Cisco Nexus 7000 Series was designed around three principles:
Infrastructure Scalability
Virtualization, efficient power and cooling, cloud scale with automation, high density, and performance all support efficient data center growth.
Operational Continuity
The design integrates hardware, NX-OS software features, and management to support zero-downtime environments.
Transport Flexibility
You can incrementally and cost-effectively adopt new networking technologies.
Technologies that you can support include:
Remote Integrated Service Engine (RISE)
Dynamic Fabric Automation (DFA)
Cisco Overlay Transport Virtualization (OTV)
Cisco FabricPath
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
Cisco Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP)
Cisco IOS Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)
