Key Features & Benefits
  • Unified Fabric Consolidation: Features "unified ports" that can operate as either 1/10 GbE or native Fibre Channel (FC) ports with an appropriate expansion module, allowing for the convergence of LAN and SAN traffic over a single infrastructure and simplifying cabling.
  • High Performance and Low Latency: Utilizes a cut-through architecture to deliver a switching capacity of up to 960 Gbps (full-duplex) with consistently low latency, crucial for high-performance computing (HPC) and virtualized environments.
  • Scalability: Includes one expansion module slot on the rear of the chassis, enabling an additional 16 ports of 10 GbE or 8 ports of 8/4/2/1-Gbps native Fibre Channel connectivity.
  • Data Center Optimized Design: Designed for efficient data center operation with front-to-back airflow (port-side exhaust) to support hot/cold aisle configurations. All serviceable components, including redundant, hot-pluggable power supplies and fan modules, are accessible from the front panel for easy maintenance.
  • Robust Security and Management: Runs on the data center-class Cisco NX-OS Software, which offers advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, including VLAN support, QoS, ACLs, and multiple management interfaces (CLI, SNMP, SSH, Telnet).
