The Cisco Nexus ® 3132Q and 3132Q-X Switches are dense, high-performance, Layer 2 and 3 40-Gbps switches. They are members of the Cisco Nexus 3100 platform. These second-generation Cisco Nexus 3000 Series Switches offer improved port density, scalability, and features compared to the first-generation switches. The Cisco Nexus 3132Q and 3132Q-X come in a compact one-rack-unit (1RU) form factor and run the industry-leading Cisco ® NX-OS Software operating system, providing customers with comprehensive features and functions that are widely deployed. They support both forward and reverse (port-side exhaust and port-side intake) airflow schemes with AC and DC power inputs. The Cisco Nexus 3132Q and 3132Q-X are well suited for data centers that require a cost-effective, power-efficient line-rate Layer 2 and 3 access or leaf switch.
The Cisco Nexus ® 3100-V series is the latest addition to the industry's widely deployed Cisco Nexus 3100 platform. The Cisco Nexus 3100-V platform consists of high-density, low-power-consumption, and low-latency fixed-configuration data center switches with line-rate Layer 2 and 3 features that support enterprise applications, service provider hosting, high-performance computing (HPC), and cloud computing environments. These switches support a wide range of port speeds with flexible combinations of 1/10/40/100-Gbps connectivity with improved port density and scalability in compact 1-rack-unit (1RU) form factors.
Cisco Nexus 3000 Series Switches, part of the Unified Fabric component of the Cisco Data Center Business Advantage (DCBA) architectural framework, now extends the comprehensive, proven innovations into the High Frequency Trading (HFT) market. The Cisco Nexus 3064 Switch is a highperformance, high-density, ultra-lowlatency Ethernet switch that is part of the new Cisco Nexus 3000 Series Switches.
The Cisco Nexus 3064 Switch is a high-performance, high-density, ultra-low-latency Ethernet switch that is part of the Cisco Nexus 3000 series. This compact one-rack-unit form factor 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch provides line-rate Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching. The switch is providing customers with comprehensive features and functionality that are widely deployed globally. Cisco Nexus 3064 is a true PHY-less switch that is optimized for low latency and low power consumption. Cisco Nexus 3064 is well suited for financial co-location deployments that require support for comprehensive unicast and multicast routing protocol features at ultra-low latencies. This switch supports both forward and reversed airflow schemes with AC and DC power inputs.
The Cisco Nexus 3064 supports a wide variety of 1, 10, and 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity options. 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity is achieved using SFP+ transceivers in the first 48 ports, and 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity is achieved by using QSFP+ transceivers in the last 4 ports.
The Cisco Nexus 3048 is supported in Cisco DCNM. Cisco DCNM is designed for hardware platforms enabled for Cisco NX-OS, which consist of the Cisco Nexus Family of products. Cisco DCNM is a Cisco management solution that increases overall data center infrastructure uptime and reliability, hence improving business continuity. Focused on the management requirements of the data center network, Cisco DCNM provides a robust framework and comprehensive feature set that meets the routing, switching, and storage administration needs of present and future data centers. In particular, Cisco DCNM automates the provisioning process, proactively monitors the LAN by detecting performance degradation, secures the network, and streamlines the diagnosis of dysfunctional network elements.
The Cisco Nexus 2300 platform maintains all the existing Cisco Nexus 2000 Series features, including a single point of management, high availability with virtual PortChannels (vPC), vPC+, Enhanced vPC, and LAN and SAN convergence using Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). With the addition of true 40 Gigabit Ethernet support, deep buffers to handle bursts of traffic common in today's data center, and unified port capability (on 2348UPQ with 5600 only starting 7.3 release), the Cisco Nexus 2300 platform is suitable for highly virtualized, automated, and cloud environments.
