Product Information
The Cisco Nexus 7000 series switch comprises a modular data center-class product line designed for highly scalable 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks with a fabric architecture that scales beyond 15 terabits per second (Tbps). Designed to meet the requirements of the most mission-critical data centers, it delivers continuous system operation and virtualized, pervasive services. The Cisco Nexus 7000 series is based on a proven operating system, with enhanced features to deliver real-time system upgrades with exceptional manageability and serviceability. The first in the next generation of switch platforms, the Cisco Nexus 7000 series provides integrated resilience combined with features optimized specifically for the data center for availability, reliability, scalability, and ease of management.
- Energy efficient design
The Cisco Nexus 7000 series uses power supplies that are up to 90 percent efficient, so less power is wasted as heat and more power is available for the system to use than with typical power supplies. The fan module in the chassis adjusts to compensate for changing thermal characteristics. In the 9-slot chassis, the fan tray is designed to completely turn off the power for a row of fans when the corresponding slots are unused. This consolidation increases the power efficiency by reducing wasted power from multiple partially loaded and inflexible systems.
