Why you should buy an N3K-C3016Q-40GE Switch?
Well, let’s start with its operating system. N3K-C3016Q-40GE Switch runs the industry-leading Cisco NX-OS Software operating system, providing customers with robust features and functions that are widely deployed globally.
This Cisco Nexus 3026 Switch delivers ultra-low nominal latency that enables customers to implement high-performance infrastructures for high-frequency trading workloads. Customers can also achieve faster application performance because of the serialization savings from switching at 40 Gigabit Ethernet speeds.
N3K-C3016Q-40GE Switch has Layer 2 and 3 switchings of up to 1.2 Terabits per second (Tbps) and more than 950 million packets per second (Mbps) are provided in a compact 1RU form-factor switch. Power-On Auto Provisioning (POAP) of this switch enables touchless bootup and configuration of the switch, drastically reducing provisioning time.
The switch is also equipped with Cisco Embedded Event Manager (EEM) and Python scripting to enable automation and remote operations in the data center. The switch has a built-in packet analyzer called Ethanalyzer for monitoring and troubleshooting control-plane traffic.
It is based on the popular Wireshark open-source network protocol analyzer. N3K-C3016Q-40GE Switch supports both forward and reversed airflow schemes, thus making it an ideal switch platform for financial co-locations.
