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
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
