Business Overview
Today’s data center require high performance, advanced programmability, low Power, continual system availability and expect a rapid and fluid response to their ever-changing business needs. To meet these business challenges, take advantage of Nexus 3000 series switches which provide the following advantages
- Single Architecture across data center for speed from 100M, 1G, 10G, 25G, 40G, 50G, and 100G.
- Support for underlay as well as overlay technologies such as VXLAN.
- Provides Low latency platform for HPC, HFT environments.
- Provides a platform for Object model programming and capability to support known Linux/server tools not limited to tshark, Guest Shell, Chef, and Puppet.
The Cisco Nexus 3000 Switch, provides low latency, Flexible, dense, high-performance, power-efficient, switch designed for today's Data center requirements. Other additional advantages of Nexus 3000 switches are Simplify management, scalability, enhance network visibility, and improve monitoring. Nexus 3000 switches have following models:
