Fixed Switches: Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Nexus 5000 Series Switch Spotlight Total Cost Reduction with Unified Fabric The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series provides a unified fabric over 10 Gigabit Ethernet for LAN, SAN, and cluster traffic. This unification enables consolidation and greater utilization of previously separate infrastructure and cabling, reducing by up to 50 percent the adapters and cables required and eliminating redundant switches. This infrastructure displacement also lowers power and cooling costs significantly, especially for rack-optimized servers similar to blade servers. Investment Protection and Operational Best Practices The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series lets customers take advantage of the cost and functional benefits of a unified fabric while protecting their investments in existing network, storage, and server assets. The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series can be easily inserted into an existing data center network to provide immediate benefits without causing disruption or reworking of existing design and operational best practices. Scalability with Simplified Management The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series in conjunction with the Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders delivers a unified fabric solution that scales server and storage connectivity while maintaining simplified management traffic. Convergence at the server access layer provides cost benefits through infrastructure reduction (CapEx savings) and infrastructure simplification (OpEx savings). Virtual Machine-Optimized Services Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches are designed to support virtualization and virtual machine mobility by mapping virtual machines to network profiles, allowing network services allocation at per-virtual machine granularity centrally from the unified fabric. This capability to move virtual machines and network profiles together eases manageability, improves network isolation, and enables consistent network and security policies.
