The Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switches provide the foundation of the Cisco

®

 Unified Fabric. They are a modular 

data center-class product line designed for highly scalable 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks. The fabric architecture 

scales beyond 15 terabits per second (Tbps), and is designed to support high-density 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet 

deployments. To meet the requirements of the most mission-critical network environments, the switches deliver 

continuous system operations and virtualized services. The Cisco Nexus 7000 Series is powered by the proven 

Cisco NX-OS Software operating system, with enhanced features to deliver real-time system upgrades with 
exceptional manageability and serviceability. The software’s innovative unified fabric design is purpose-built to 

support consolidation of IP and storage networks on a single lossless Ethernet fabric. 

Features and Benefits 

The Cisco Nexus 7000 M2-Series module offers outstanding flexibility and full-featured, non-blocking performance 

on each port. The module enables the deployment of high-density, high-speed, scalable data center architecture. 

Up to 384 non-blocking 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports are supported in a single Cisco Nexus 7000 18-Slot Switch 

chassis. Populating the Cisco Nexus 7000 10-Slot and 9-Slot Switch chassis with this module delivers,
