Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches (Cisco Nexus 5548, Cisco
Nexus 5596 Switches)
Latest Additions to the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches
Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches Product Overview
Today’s data centers are increasingly filled with dense rack-mount and blade servers that host powerful multicore
processors. The rapid increase in in-rack computing density and the increasing use of virtualization software
combine to accelerate the demand for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and consolidated I/O: applications for which the Cisco
Nexus
®
5000 Series Switches are an excellent match. With low latency, front-to-back cooling, and rear-facing data
ports, the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series is designed for a broad range of physical, virtual, storage access, and high-
performance computing environments, thus giving customers the flexibility to meet and scale their data center
requirements in a gradual manner and at a pace that aligns with their business objectives.
The switch series, using cut-through architecture, supports line-rate 10 Gigabit Ethernet on all ports while
maintaining consistently low latency independent of packet size and services enabled. It supports a set of network
technologies known collectively as Data Center Bridging (DCB) that increases the reliability, efficiency, and
scalability of Ethernet networks. These features allow the switches to support multiple traffic classes over a lossless
Ethernet fabric, thus enabling consolidation of LAN, SAN, and cluster environments. Its ability to connect Fibre
Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) to native Fibre Channel protects existing storage system investments while
dramatically simplifying in-rack cabling.
In addition to supporting standard 10 Gigabit Ethernet network interface cards (NICs) on servers, the Cisco Nexus
5000 Series integrates with multifunction adapters called converged network adapters (CNAs) that combine the
functions of Ethernet NICs and Fibre Channel host bus adapters (HBAs), making the transition to a single, unified
network fabric transparent and consistent with existing practices, management software, and OS drivers. The switch
series is compatible with integrated transceivers and Twinax cabling solutions that deliver cost-effective connectivity
for 10 Gigabit Ethernet to servers at the rack level, eliminating the need for expensive optical transceivers.
The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series is designed for data center environments with cut-through technology that enables
consistent low-latency Ethernet solutions, with front-to-back cooling, and with data ports in the rear, bringing
switching into close proximity with servers and making cable runs short and simple. The switch series is highly
serviceable, with redundant, hot-pluggable power supplies and fan modules. It uses data center-class Cisco
®
NX-OS
Software for high reliability and ease of management.
Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform Overview
In a constantly changing business environment, companies are calling upon their IT departments to help them
reduce costs, improve productivity, and introduce new ways to interact with their customer base.
The Cisco Nexus 5500 platform extends the industry-leading versatility of the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches of
purpose-built 10 Gigabit Ethernet data center-class switches and provides innovative advances toward higher
density, lower latency, and multilayer services. The Cisco Nexus 5500 platform is well suited for enterprise-class
data center server access-layer deployments across a diverse set of physical, virtual, storage-access, and high-
performance computing (HPC) data center environments.
