Nexus 5000 Series Switches As a part of the Unified Fabric pillar of the Cisco Data Center Business Advantage architectural framework, the Cisco Nexus® 5000 Series Switches deliver an innovative architecture to simplify data center transformation by enabling a high-performance, standards-based, Ethernet fabric. The platform consolidates separate LAN, SAN, and server cluster network environments into a single Ethernet fabric. Backed by a broad system of industry-leading technology partners, the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series is designed to meet the challenges of next-generation data centers, including dense multi-socket, multi-core, virtual machine-optimized services, in which infrastructure sprawl and increasingly demanding workloads are commonplace. The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series features a high-performance, low-latency 10 Gigabit Ethernet cut-through switching architecture for 10 Gigabit Ethernet server access in next-generation data centers. With connectivity options ranging from Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), this platform delivers flexible connectivity as your data center evolves while creating a lossless Ethernet service with no-drop flow control. 137
