The Cisco Nexus 5672UP is a top-tier choice for modernizing data centers. Its compact 1RU form factor is space-efficient, making it ideal for organizations with limited rack space. The switch’s performance is robust, delivering 1.44 Tbps of bandwidth and 1 microsecond latency, which is essential for latency-sensitive applications and high-speed networking requirements.
The inclusion of both 10 GE and 40 GE ports ensures versatility and future-proofing, as networks transition to higher speeds. With 48 SFP+ and 6 QSFP ports, the switch can handle a high number of connections, critical for server farms and storage networks. Moreover, the 16 unified ports offer flexibility, serving Ethernet, FCoE, or Fibre Channel traffic based on the organization’s needs.
Hardware support for VXLAN and NVGRE means the Nexus 5672UP is ready for network virtualization and can easily integrate into software-defined networking (SDN) environments. This is crucial for building flexible and scalable cloud infrastructures. Additionally, FCoE support simplifies data center designs by converging data and storage networking, reducing cables, switches, and adapters required, which leads to lower capital and operational costs.
Redundant power supplies and fan modules with different airflow options cater to various deployment scenarios and ensure system reliability. Plus, running the robust Cisco NX-OS operating system provides a consistent and secure platform across the Cisco Nexus family, enabling automated provisioning, virtual-machine-aware network services, and performance analytics.
Choosing the Cisco Nexus 5672UP is an investment in reliability, versatility, and future growth. It is suitable for high-performance computing, cloud deployments, rich media content delivery networks, and virtualized environments, making it a comprehensive solution that meets diverse business needs.
Cisco Nexus 5672UP switch (N5K-C5672UP) is a compact 1RU (1 Rack Unit), high-performance, low-latency 1/10/40-Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) switch. It runs the industry-leading Cisco NX-OS Software operating system, providing features and capabilities that are widely deployed.
