Description
Cisco Nexus 7K
Build a next-generation network
Create the network foundation for a next-generation Unified Fabric data center. The modular Cisco Nexus 7K and 7700 switches deliver a comprehensive Cisco NX-OS feature set and open-source programmable tools for software-defined networking (SDN) deployments. They offer high-density 10, 40, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet with application awareness and performance analytics.
Features and benefits
High performance
The Cisco Nexus 7K Series Switches run on Cisco NX-OS Software. It was specifically developed for mission-critical enterprise and service provider deployments. The switches offer a full feature set in a highly resilient modular platform.
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
Networking technologies can be incrementally and cost-effectively adopted. These include the Cisco Remote Integrated Services Engine (RISE), Cisco Dynamic Fabric Automation (DFA), and Cisco Overlay Transport Virtualization (OTV).
Programmability with open NX-OS
The 7000 Series offers programmable and automation tools for zero-day to day-N configuration and management. Standard, open, and programmable API interfaces are available for provisioning control and data planes.
