Cisco Nexus 3000 Series
Cisco Nexus 3064 Switch is a high
performance, high density, sub-micro-
second latency ethernet switch, which
is part of the brand new Cisco Nexus
3000 Series Switches. This compact
1RU form factor 10GbE switch provides
wire-rate L2 and L3 switching and
future-proofs networks with 40GbE
standards-based technologies while
also being backward compatible with
1GbE. Cisco Nexus 3064 is ideal for
financial co-location deployments
requiring support for advanced unicast
and multicast routing protocol features
at ultra-low latency.
Cisco Nexus 3000 Series Switches
extends the comprehensive proven
innovations of Cisco Data Center
Business Advantage into the HFT
market too. The switch does so by
delivering functionalities such as
ultra-low latency and wire-rate L2/L3
switching on data center class NX-OS
operating system.
The key challenges addressed by the
Cisco Nexus 3000 series include:
• Increased application sensitivity to
network latency
• Increasing bandwidth requirements
due to increasing application
workloads
• Need for supporting advanced
routing protocols with resiliency
• Need to measure network latency
between servers
