The Area 0

The innovative architecture of the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches simplifies data center transformation by helping to enable a standards-based, high-performance unified fabric. Next-generation data centers increasingly have dense, multi-core, virtual-machine-intensive servers. As the network foundation of Cisco Data Center 3.0 and the latest addition to the family of data-center-class switches, the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series can meet these business, service, application, and operational requirements.

With these switches, you can:

• Consolidate the data center and protect investments in existing server, network, storage, and facilities assets
• Decrease the total cost of ownership by simplifying the data center infrastructure
• Increase business agility with easier, faster, and pervasive data center virtualization
• Enhance business resilience with greater operational continuity
• Use existing operational models and administrative domains for easy deployment
