Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switches offer one of the most comprehensive data center network feature sets in a single platform. They deliver high performance and density for core, aggregation, end-of-row, and top-of-rack server deployments in a highly resilient modular platform.

The Cisco Nexus 7000 Series runs on Cisco NX-OS Software. It was specifically designed for the most mission-critical enterprise and service provider data center deployments.

The Cisco Nexus 7000 Series was designed around three principles:

Infrastructure scalability: Virtualization, efficient power and cooling, high density, and performance all support efficient data center growth.Operational continuity: The design integrates hardware, NX-OS software features, and management to support zero-downtime environments. Transport flexibility:You can incrementally and cost-effectively adopt new networking technologies.

New technologies that you can support include:

  The new Cisco Nexus 7700 Switches extend the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series with the addition of three new chassis. These new switches offer superior scalability while maintaining operational, feature, and architectural consistency across the entire Cisco Nexus 7000 Series.

The next-generation F3-Series modules deliver superior feature, scale and performance. Integrated with Cisco NX-OS software, the F3 modules deliver one of the industry's broadest feature sets in a single module. This gives customers the flexibility to deploy a wide range of network designs, while protecting their investments.
