Management should be made easier. Increase the visibility of your network. Enhance tracking. Low-latency, highly programmable, high-density switches are available in the 3000 Series. These small fixed switches are ideal for general-purpose use, high-performance computing (HPC), high-frequency trading (HFT), massively scalable data centers (MSDCs), and cloud networks.

Prominent Features

  • Simplified operations: Cisco Embedded Event Manager, Python scripts, touchless boot and setup, Cisco Data Centre Network Manager, XML management tools, and advanced reboot features are all included in the simplified operations. For visibility and tracking, use Cisco Nexus Data Broker.
  • Open programmability: Puppet, Chef, Ansible, and other DevOps automation resources are included. NX-API provides a standardized programming interface for all switches. Customer applications are supported by Python scripts, the Bash shell, and Linux containers. SDN is supported by OpenStack and OpenFlow.
  • High efficiency and scalability: With VXLAN support, you can achieve multitenant scalability. Migrating to 40 Gigabit Ethernet is made easier with Cisco bidirectional support. Cisco Nexus 3500 Series Switches have one of the lowest latency rates in the industry thanks to AlgoBoost and Warp mode.
  • High availability and efficiency: Fault isolation is supported by Cisco's modular NX-OS software. Power supplies and fan modules are redundant and hot-swappable in switches. For improved network reliability, shared buffer space handles microbursts, normal data traffic flow, and jitter.
