The Cisco Nexus N2K-C2232PP Fabric Extender is a powerful tool for data center expansion and is ideal for businesses aiming for a scalable network architecture with simplified management. Integrating seamlessly with Cisco Nexus 5000, 6000, 7000, and 9000 series switches, it operates as a natural extension, minimizing the complexity and cost typically associated with network expansion. The extender’s 32 1/10 Gbps SFP/SFP+ and 8 10 Gbps SFP+ ports offer ample connectivity options, while supporting high-performance hardware forwarding at 800 Gbps – crucial for data-intensive applications.
By employing the Nexus N2K-C2232PP, IT administrators benefit from the simplified cabling and reduced management points of a ToR solution, along with the centralized management ease found in EoR deployments. Its compatibility with FCoE further establishes it as a contemporary solution, enabling converged network traffic and reducing cable clutter, thus simplifying the infrastructure.
The dual power supplies and hot-swappable fan tray ensure reliability and uninterrupted service, vital for maintaining uptime in a data center environment. The device’s flexibility with airflow options also ensures adaptability to various rack configurations, maintaining optimal operating temperatures and consistent performance.
Moreover, investing in a Nexus 2000 series extender future-proofs the network infrastructure. As these extenders behave like remote line cards, they allow for a pay-as-you-grow model, which means additional ports and capabilities can be added without the necessity for significant hardware upgrades.
Finally, with support from Nortland Systems, customers receive a product that not only boosts their network’s capabilities dramatically but also comes with the assurance of quality and dedicated customer service. The N2K-C2232PP is an investment that promises to return its value through enhanced network performance, reliability, and scalability.
N2K-C2232PP is a Cisco Nexus 2000 Platform Chassis, offering 2 power supply, 1 Fan Modules, 32 x 1/10GE (req SFP/SFP+) + 8 x 10GE (req SFP+), and choice of airflow. Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders comprise a category of data center products designed to simplify data center access architecture and operations. Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders behave like remote line cards for a parent Cisco Nexus switch. The fabric extenders are essentially extensions of the parent Cisco Nexus switch fabric, with the fabric extenders and the parent switch together forming a distributed modular system. This architecture enables physical topologies with the flexibility and benefits of both top-of-rack (ToR) and end-of-row (EoR) deployments
