Cisco Nexus Blade Switch for IBM
The Cisco Nexus 4001I Switch Module for IBM BladeCenter is a blade switch
solution for the IBM BladeCenter H and HT chassis providing the server I/O
solution. It is a line-rate, extremely low-latency, non-blocking, Layer 2, 10 Gigabit
Ethernet blade switch. At the core of the Cisco Nexus 4001I is the unified switch
ASIC, a new purpose-built, high performance, line-rate switch ASIC that delivers
extremely low and consistent latency across all packet sizes independent of the
configured networking features. The unified switch ASIC supports standard
Ethernet as well as Priority Flow Control (PFC) and Enhanced Transmission
Selection (ETS), required for lossless Ethernet transmission.
LAN and SAN networking protocols are delivered through Cisco NX-OS, a
modular, fault-tolerant, highly available operating system designed specifically
to support unified fabric data center networks.
