Cisco Nexus Review

Our primary use for this solution is as headend switches at remote sites.

These are the same as the old headend switches, but newer and nicer.

The most valuable feature is the Bluetooth console.

They need to offer fibre switches in the 9K series.

I would like to have the ability to identify ports by flashing port lights, so I can tell the user "We need to look at port four", and then I can flash the light remotely using the command line.

The stability of this solution is good.

Scalability with this solution is easy.

Technical support for this solution is good.

We moved to this solution because it is an ever-growing field. You need to stay ahead, and uptime is crucial.

The initial setup of this solution is straightforward.

We used AT&T to assist us with the implementation.

AT&T is our primary vendor. Verizon was on the short list, and Cisco themselves was on the list as well.

This is a good switch, overall, and there are only a few other features that we'd like to see.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
