Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Nexus

We use our Nexus 5548UPs for 10G switched connectivity for our compute as well as for routing over our WAN, to our ISP, and to other 1G network infrastructure.
  • Stability
  • Value
  • Density
  • Flexibility
  • QoS not as full featured as routers
  • Different commands than IOS
  • L3 daughterboard instead of native L3
  • Lasted us 5+ years and provided a great collapsed core, so excellent value.
  • Worked in both large offices and the datacenter - very versatile.
Didn’t examine other platforms, we are a Cisco shop.
10G connectivity down to compute with a dense form factor as well as for terminating routed connections, particularly when it’s SFP based handoff.
