Cisco Nexus 3000 Series Switches

Generally, Nexus 3000 Series Simplify management, increase network visibility and improve monitoring.

Now days data centers need high performance, enhanced programmability, less power consumed devices, continual system availability and require response to their ever-changing business needs. To meet these challenges, Nexus 3000 series switches provides following benefits:

• Single Architecture across data center for speed from 100M, 1G, 10G, 25G, 40G, 50G and 100G.
• Support for underlay as well as overlay technologies such as VXLAN.
• Provides Low Latency platform for HPC, HFT environments.
• Provides platform for Object model program and capabilities to support known Linux/server tools not limited to tshark, Guest Shell, Chief and Puppet.
• massively scalable data center (MSDC), and cloud networks.

Cisco Nexus Licenses

Simplify management nexus 3000

Cisco Embedded Event Manager, Python scripts, touchless boot and configuration, Cisco Prime Data Center Network Manager, XML management tools, and advanced reboot features are included. Use Cisco Nexus Data Broker for visibility and monitoring.

Open programmability

DevOps automation tools (Puppet, Chef, Ansible, etc.) are built in. NX-API offers a common programming approach across switches. Python scripts, Bash shell, and Linux containers support customer applications. OpenStack and OpenFlow support SDN.

Scalability and high performance

Achieve multitenant scalability with VXLAN support. Cisco bidirectional support simplifies migration to 40 Gigabit Ethernet. Algo Boost and Warp mode on Cisco Nexus 3500 Series Switches provide the lowest latency in the industry.

High availability and efficiency

Fault isolation is supported by Modular Cisco NX-OS Software. Switches benefits redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fan modules. Shared buffer space handles microbursts, regular data traffic flow, and jitter for increased network efficiency.

Nexus 3048 Switch which supports 1RU L2/L3 ToR general purpose switch supports 48x100M/1G and 4x10G.

Nexus 3100 switches are the second generation which support 1/2 RU L2/L3 ToR general purpose switch supports speed 1,10,40 and 100G and Native VXLAN Routing.

Nexus 3100-V switches improved version of 3100 switches which support 1RU L2/L3 ToR general purpose switch supports 1,10,40 and 100G and Native VXLAN Routing

Nexus 3200 switches are the third generation on these series which support 1/2RU L2/L3 ToR general purpose switch supports 1,10,40 and 100G and all the speeds possible on single switch, also Native VXLAN Routing is supported. Moreover, 3200 switches are Ideal for HPC/HFT environments.

Nexus 3500 switches which support 1RU L2/L3 ToR general purpose switch supports 1,10,40 with Latency from 50ns to 290ns and are Ideal for HPC/HFT environments.

Cisco Nexus 3000 Switches Smart Licensing

As Cisco has introduced its Smart Licensing method for its vast range of devices, Cisco Nexus 3000 switches smart license is now available for these devices and all product instances should be activated by registering 3K switches into Cisco Smart Service Management website through specific smart account. However, by purchasing Cisco 3000 switches PLR smart license all instances would be enabled once and forever.
