Description
Cisco Nexus 2332TQ Fabric Extender – Rack-mountable 10GT 4X40G QSF
Simplify your data center access architecture and operations with the Cisco Nexus® 2300 platform fabric extenders
the successors to the industry’s widely adopted Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders. The Cisco Nexus 2300 platform with its Cisco® fabric extender architecture provides a highly scalable unified server-access platform across a range of connectivity options such as 100 Megabit Ethernet; 1
10
and 40 Gigabit Ethernet; unified fabric; copper and fiber connectivity; and rack and blade server environments.
The platform offers excellent support for migration from traditional 1 Gigabit Ethernet to 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet and virtual machine – aware unified fabric technologies.
The Cisco Nexus 2300 platform maintains all the existing Cisco Nexus 2000 Series features
including a single point of management
high availability with virtual PortChannels (vPC)
vPC+
Enhanced vPC
and LAN and SAN convergence using Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). With the addition of true 40 Gigabit Ethernet support
deep buffers to handle bursts of traffic common in today’s data center
and unified port capability (currently
Fibre Channel functions are supported only in hardware)
the Cisco Nexus 2300 platform is suitable for highly virtualized
automated
and cloud environments.
The Cisco Nexus 2300 fabric extenders provide a 1-rack-unit (1RU) energy-efficient platform with a choice of front-to-back (port-side exhaust) and back-to-front (port-side intake) airflow options that offer 100 Megabit Ethernet; 1
10
and 40 Gigabit Ethernet; Fibre Channel (currently supported only in hardware); and FCoE for a broad range of traditional data center and large-scale virtualized cloud deployments.
