Cisco Systems N3K-C3064-X-BD-L3

The Cisco Nexus 3064 Switch is a high-performance, high-density, ultra-low-latency Ethernet switch that is part of the Cisco Nexus 3000 series. This compact one-rack-unit form factor 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch provides line-rate Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching. The switch is providing customers with comprehensive features and functionality that are widely deployed globally. Cisco Nexus 3064 is a true PHY-less switch that is optimized for low latency and low power consumption. Cisco Nexus 3064 is well suited for financial co-location deployments that require support for comprehensive unicast and multicast routing protocol features at ultra-low latencies. This switch supports both forward and reversed airflow schemes with AC and DC power inputs.

• Delivers ultra-low nominal latency that allows customers to implement high-performance infrastructures for high-frequency trading workloads
• Provides Layer 2 and 3 switching of up to 1.2 terabits per second (Tbps) and more than 950 million packets per second (mpps) in a compact 1 RU form-factor switch
• Power On Auto Provisioning (POAP) enables touchless boot up and configuration of the switch, drastically reducing the provisioning time
• EEM and python scripting enable automation and remote operations in datacenter
• Advanced buffer monitoring capability provides real-time buffer utilization per port and per queue, which allows organizations to monitor traffic bursts and application traffic patterns
• The 64-way equal-cost multipath (ECMP) routing enables Layer 3 fat tree designs and allows organizations to prevent network bottlenecks, increase resiliency, and add capacity with little network disruption
• EtherAnalyzer is a built-in packet analyzer for monitoring and troubleshooting control-plane traffic and is based on the popular Wireshark open-source network protocol analyzer
• Precision Time Protocol (IEEE 1588) provides accurate clock synchronization and improved data correlation with network captures and system events
