What is Nexus 5k?
The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series was a line of data center-class Ethernet switches designed for top-of-rack (ToR) or end-of-row (EoR) deployments. They provided high-density 10 Gigabit Ethernet and converged fabric capabilities, supporting technologies like Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). They were commonly used for server virtualization, cloud computing, and high-performance computing environments, offering low latency and scalability.
What other technologies are related to Nexus 5k?
Nexus 5k Competitor Technologies
VSS
Virtual Switching System (VSS) is a Cisco technology that combines two physical switches into a single logical switch. It provides redundancy and increased bandwidth. Nexus 5k uses VPC for similar results, so it is a competing technology in terms of function.
Cisco ACI
Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) is a software-defined networking (SDN) solution that provides centralized management and automation of network resources. While the Nexus 5k can be part of an ACI deployment, ACI itself offers an alternative architecture to traditional Nexus deployments, and is therefore a competitor.
