Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Nexus Series Switches
We have it in our data center lab. It's the core of our network down there. So it's basically everything goes through it. It's our high-speed core. High-speed uplinks to the rest of the company is provided by those switches, so we need high speed, we need redundancy, and that provides all of that. We run something called VPCs, which are multiple links that appear as one on the Nexus. So there's redundancy and speed, basically.
- Well it runs its own NX iOS, which is iOS like, which I'm very familiar with. So it's easy to configure, there's lots of support for it, lots of documentation. I got to say I've never had a problem with it in three years. So it does pretty much everything well that we needed to do.
- I can't think any off the top of my head.
Pretty much we're a Cisco shop. I have used Juniper before, their EX series, but it more of an access type switch, stackable, so it's really hard to compare the two. So nothing really comparable to the Nexus.
