CISCO NEXUS N5K-5020P-BF

Description

The Nexus 5000 Series is designed for next-generation data centers that require high-performance, low-latency, and line-rate 10 Gigabit Ethernet and FCoE connectivity. Its innovative architecture enables the consolidation of LAN, SAN, and cluster networks onto a single Unified Fabric, reducing infrastructure sprawl and simplifying network management.

Backed by a broad ecosystem of complementary technologies, the Nexus 5000 Series is ideal for dense, virtual machine-optimized deployments, delivering robust performance for demanding workloads in enterprise and cloud data center environments.

The Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders act as universal server-access platforms that extend the internal switching fabric of the 5000 Series to remote devices. This provides scalable, cost-effective, and simplified server connectivity, supporting Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet environments while allowing seamless migration to Unified Fabric technologies.

Together, the Nexus 5000 Switches and 2000 Fabric Extenders deliver a highly efficient, reliable, and scalable data center solution, enabling organizations to simplify operations, improve performance, and future-proof their network infrastructure.
