Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches vs. Dell PowerSwitch S/Z Series

Datacentres whether it is for Core, Top Of Rack or SAN it's great, enables high throughput and yet at achievable costs. I especially like using it as SAN switches compared to other SAN switches as it can be simpler to manager I wouldn't use it for campus or remote sites for the cost that it comes at and the additional setup that would be required.

The N9Ks have served us well. A bit pricier than the competition, but everyone is familiar with NXOS and Cisco

It's been very comfortable to work with. So far no issues. Device is very understandable, as well as hardware is powerful enough to push a high volume of traffic over it and be comfortable that nothing goes wrong(only once the the appropriate research been validated). So far so good

Ignoring the integration piece as we haven't integrated. However performance wise we don't get issues with latency etc, it deals with what we have quite easily. However I suppose you need to ensure you get the right switch for the throughput.

Beyond purely political considerations regarding the use of Chinese products in our company, Cisco NEXUS switches support VPC, which was not the case with our Huawei Cloud Engines, which only supported the stack. This was a real problem during updates because we had to update the entire stack at once, which paralysed an entire rack.
