Which Cisco Nexus series is right for you?
Choosing the right Nexus model depends on factors such as port count, required speed, how servers and storage connect, uplink capacity and the switch's role in the data center architecture. If your infrastructure needs high speed, capacity and reliability, the Nexus family is one of Cisco's specialist data center options.
If you plan to expand your data center in the future, it is best to choose a model whose capacity and speed can also meet future needs. In general, Nexus 3000 suits high-speed, low-latency networks, Nexus 9000 suits modern, high-capacity infrastructure, and the Nexus 5000 and Nexus 7000 series are mostly found in older infrastructure.
In the end, the best Nexus is not necessarily the most powerful one; it is the model that fits your data center architecture, traffic type and real needs.
