1. Introduction of Cisco Nexus Series switches
The Cisco Nexus family of switches is designed to meet the stringent requirements of
the next-generation data center. Not simply bigger or faster, these switches offer the
following characteristics:
Infrastructure that can be scaled cost-effectively and that helps you increase energy,
budget, and resource efficiency
Transport that can navigate the transition to 10 Gigabit Ethernet and unified fabric
and can also handle architectural changes such as virtualization, Web 2.0
applications, and cloud computing.
Operational continuity to meet your need for an environment where system
availability is assumed and maintenance windows are rare if not totally extinct.
Advantages
IT assets aligning based on business priorities: Investment protection, and efficient
use of assets: Cisco Nexus Series can provide supports for the entire life cycle of the
next-generation data centers. The platform can not only take advantage of the current
traditional Ethernet, but also will be able to benefit from the 4 Gigabit Ethernet, 10
Gigabit Ethernet, Data Center Ethernet and unified fabric in the future to reduce

2. future investment and operational expenses without massive upgrading. It is equally
important that Cisco Nexus series can gradually and cost-effectively add features and
capacity to make investments in infrastructure to better meet business needs.
TCO reduction: IT departments can dramatically reduce the cost of investment by
consolidating and improving the utilization of the past separation resources, and
reduce operational expenses by simplifying and automating management tasks, and
reduce cooling and power costs with the help of improved utilization and more
efficient system design. In addition, Cisco Nexus 5000 Series can eliminate redundant
infrastructure (interfaces, cabling, switches, etc.) and streamline operations by
providing unified fabric.
Productivity improvements: The use of embedded features on hardware, operating
systems and network management facilities, Cisco Nexus Series provides component-
level and system-level operational continuity. The improvement of network stability
and the reduction on the service disruption means that your employees can readily
access to the resources they need, your operating personnel can deal with the problem
in the most efficient way.
Business agility increasing: IT departments can integrate computing from shared
pool of storage, and network resources to quickly configure applications and
infrastructure, flexibly respond to changing business needs. Data center consolidation
can help streamline operations and achieve policy-based control.
Enhancement on business continuity: IT departments can protect infrastructure,
applications and data, respond to interference or attacks through the highest levels of
availability, security and business continuity in general. Cisco Nexus 7000 Series is
designed with zero service interruption architecture, so it can add capacity and
function without halting the machine.
Service levels improvements: IT departments can provide secure and fast access to
information hosted applications and data center at any time, in any place across the
organization, thereby, enhance service leve
