IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
Cisco nexus series switches are primarily used in the data center to process large amounts of data and to allow multiple switches to be joined as one logical unit through vpcs for redundancies. Nexus series switches are robust and have a data processing units that can handle large amounts of traffic.
Pros
- Cisco Nexus Series Switches are able to move large amounts of data between applications seamlessly
- Cisco Nexus Series Switches are able to combine switches together to be able to process data between the both of them
- Cisco Nexus Series Switches are robust and works well to provide redundancy in a data center
Cons
- Cisco Nexus Series Switches could have more hardware options to suit a wider diversity of datacenters
- Can't wait for Cisco Nexus Series Switches to have coolant system with tubes with fluids
- Cisco Nexus Series Switches can sometimes take a while to reboot and the upgrade process can be sped up
Likelihood to Recommend
We love our Cisco Nexus switches in our datacenters to provide redundancy and robustness for our branches to access applications with minimum down time. They rarely fail, provide logs for troubleshooting network issues, and can move data smoothly in and out of the datacenter. Nexus devices use of vpcs allow them to process data between switches.
