Nexus 4000 Series Cisco Nexus Blade Switch for IBM The Cisco Nexus 4001I Switch Module for IBM BladeCenter is a blade switch solution for the IBM BladeCenter H and HT chassis providing the server I/O solution. It is a line-rate, extremely low-latency, non-blocking, Layer 2, 10 Gigabit Ethernet blade switch. At the core of the Cisco Nexus 4001I is the unified switch ASIC, a new purpose-built, high performance, line-rate switch ASIC that delivers extremely low and consistent latency across all packet sizes independent of the configured networking features. The unified switch ASIC supports standard Ethernet as well as Priority Flow Control (PFC) and Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS), required for lossless Ethernet transmission. LAN and SAN networking protocols are delivered through Cisco NX-OS, a modular, fault-tolerant, highly available operating system designed specifically to support unified fabric data center networks. 261
