Cisco Nexus 3064PQ Switch |
The Cisco Nexus 3064UP switch is a high-performance, high-density, ultra-low-latency Ethernet switch that is part of the new Cisco Nexus 3000 Series Switches. This compact one-rack-unit (1RU) form factor 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch provides line-rate Layer 2 and 3 switching. The switch runs the industry-leading Cisco NX-OS Software operating system, providing customers with robust features and functionality that are widely deployed globally. The Cisco Nexus 3064UP is well suited for financial co-location deployments that require support for robust unicast and multicast routing protocol features at ultra-low latencies. |
