Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switches

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) Innovations Next-Generation Nexus 7700 M3-Series Modules: These feature-rich I/O modules deliver enhanced security, wire-rate performance with deep buffers, and high-capacity TCAMs for low-latency, highly secure, and scalable data centers. M3-Series 48-Port 1/10 GE Module M3-Series 24-Port 40 GE Module Programmability with Cisco Open NX-OS: The Cisco Nexus 7000 family of switches offers an industry-leading, comprehensive set of programmable and automation tools for day-0 to day-N configuration and management. The 7000 Series offers standard, open, and programmable API interfaces for provisioning both control and data planes. Flexible customization through third-party application hosting capabilities such as Puppet, Chef, and Ansible Use of the Cisco NX-API for remote programmable access to the switch Visit the DevNet community for programmability resources. Virtual Topology System: Automate overlay provisioning for both virtual and physical workloads for faster application delivery.
