Information about the Cisco Nexus B22 Fabric Extender for HP
The Cisco Nexus product line simplifies datacenter operations in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
The Cisco Nexus product line transforms the data center with innovative, standards-based, multilayer,
multiprotocol, and multipurpose Ethernet-based fabric. These products enable any transport over
Ethernet, including Layer 2 and Layer 3 traffic, and storage traffic, all on one common data center-class
platform.
The Cisco Nexus B22 Fabric Extenders behave as remote line cards for a parent Cisco Nexus 5000 Series
switch. The Fabric Extenders are essentially extensions of the parent Cisco Nexus switch fabric, with
the Fabric Extenders and the parent Cisco Nexus switch together forming a distributed modular system.
Up to 24 Cisco Nexus B22 Fabric Extenders can be connected to a single Nexus 5000 Series switch,
allowing a single distributed modular system to scale to 384 HP blade servers.
