Cisco Nexus Series Switches
 Cisco Nexus
5000 Series
The First Switch to Deliver a Fiber Channel over Ethernet
Solution
Even
with its svelte rack switch form factor, the Cisco Nexus
5000 Series of switches offers numerous innovations. The
low-latency, low-cost, 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch was first
to market with support for standards-based IEEE Data Center
Bridging (DCB), which improves the reliability and
scalability of Ethernet for data center purposes.
The switch was also the first to deliver
Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), which allows storage
traffic to be reliably carried over an Ethernet
infrastructure. These features are prime examples of Cisco's
holistic approach, with Cisco working with companies such as
Emulex, Intel, QLogic, and VMware to bring a complete
implementable solution to market.
Ideal for High-Performance Applications
While the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series is
designed for most data center environments, its low-latency
characteristics also make it an ideal candidate for
high-performance computing applications. The Cisco Nexus
5000 Series is available in two variations (Figure 3). The
Cisco Nexus 5020 Switch offers 40 fixed, lossless 10 Gigabit
Ethernet/FCoE ports and two uplink slots that can support a
combination of 10 Gigabit Ethernet/FCoE and Fibre Channel
ports. The Cisco Nexus 5010 Switch offers the same features
and capabilities as the Cisco Nexus 5020, but in a smaller
form factor: 20 fixed, lossless, 10 Gigabit Ethernet/FCoE
ports and one uplink slot.
