Cisco Nexus
Network devices such as Cisco Nexus 7000 provide 100% Uptime to clients. Cisco Nexus Switch has features such as VDC ( Virtual Device Contexts), VPC (Virtual Port Channel), Fabric Path , FEX, OTV, CheckPoint and Rollback, TrustSec, Ethereal/Wireshark and Many more. All of these features are unique in Cisco Nexus 7000 and Cisco Nexus 5000. NX-OS is the operating System used in Nexus Devices. It is very different from IOS however, once you start using it, you will notice that It is very easy to operate. Some of the other benefits and advantages it has are – Virtualization, Flexibility, Resiliency, Scalability, Security, Unified Datacenter OS etc.
