Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Nexus

Cisco Nexus is a very optimal solution for data centers that are still running on legacy architecture or the new cutting edge technologies like datacenter virtualization. The beauty of this particular product is Cisco took all the pain in the background for the new technologies in the datacenter infrastructure and they left it with straightforward configuration and architectural solutions to the industry. So we get optimal solutions with less effort, coming to the hardware. This state of the art hardware handles very high density data along with virtualization.
  • vPC, FCoE and IP in one hardware
  • Very high density data capable hardware
  • Optimal for virtualization in datacenters
  • OTV capable
  • Cisco should keep maintaining the similarities between their NXOS, IOS and IOSXR/XE platforms so the engineer's work will be easy when it comes to troubleshooting.
[It is well suited for] vPC, OTV and FCoE and IP mixed environments.
