It sounds like you aren't using FC through them, so I'm guessing they were positioned as a high density, low cost 10g solution. Along with being cheaper, they will also be more green.

The 2ks are high density low cost 1g solutions.

Note there is no layer 3 on the 5ks at this time.

Subject: [c-nsp] Nexus 5000?


I have a client that Cisoc is recommending the Nexus line of switches for their data center. They will be using IBM blade switches and I'm guessing these would be the 'core'.

They are looking at (2) Nexus 5010's and (2) Nexus 2000's.....totaling 60K.

I'm wondering why this would be recommended, since the only added feature of the Nexus line from Cisco.com's video is that they have 10GB ports.....and really nothing else.

I'm almost ready to recommend my favorites....3750G's for this scenario.

Anyone have real world experience wirking with these devices and can share comments? good or bad, and why you went with them?

Thanks

Chris
