Description
Cisco Nexus7700-18Slot Dubai
The Cisco Nexus7700-18Slot Dubai stands as an 18-slot switch boasting 18 front-accessible module slots, front-to-back airflow, and an integrated cable management system. Crafted to cater to the scaling demands of even the most extensive cloud environments, this high-capacity system is engineered for optimal performance.
Incorporating the latest advancements from the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series modular switches, the Cisco Nexus7700-18Slot Dubai packs a staggering overall switching capacity of over 83 Terabits per second (Tbps). It delivers industry-leading 10, 40, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet ports, supporting up to 768 native 10-Gbps ports, 384 40-Gbps ports, or 192 100-Gbps ports, ensuring seamless connectivity for large-scale operations.
To facilitate smooth data transfer, the Cisco Nexus7700-18Slot Dubai chassis employs a passive mid-plane architecture, establishing physical connectors and copper traces that effectively interconnect the fabric modules and I/O modules. Crucially, all inter-module switching activities are efficiently managed through crossbar fabric ASICs integrated within the individual I/O modules and fabric modules.
A flexible and scalable fabric architecture, operating with up to six fabric modules, enables the delivery of up to 1.32 Tbps per slot of bandwidth within the Cisco Nexus7700-18Slot Dubai from the outset. Its adaptable midplane design allows for hassle-free technology upgrades, ensuring continuous protection for your investment as your operational requirements evolve. Moreover, the platform is poised for even higher bandwidth capabilities with the introduction of future fabric modules.
Features
- The Cisco Nexus7700-18Slot Dubai Switch, with up to 16 I/O module slots, supports up to 768 x 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 384 x 40 Gigabit Ethernet ports, and 192 x 100 Gigabit Ethernet ports, to meet the demands of the largest data center deployments.
- The Cisco Nexus 7700 18-Slot Switch has two dedicated half-slot supervisors to provide full redundancy, stateful supervisor switchover, and hitless In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) capabilities.
- The Cisco Nexus 7700 18-Slot Switch has six fabric module slots to provide simultaneously active fabric channels to each of the I/O and supervisor modules. Through the parallel forwarding fabric architecture, the Cisco Nexus7700-18Slot Dubai Switch can achieve 42 Tbps of forwarding capacity or more.
- Front-to-back airflow helps ensure that the Cisco Nexus 7700 18-Slot Switch addresses the requirement for hot-aisle and cold-aisle deployments to support efficient cooling.
- The system uses three redundant fan trays for cooling. Each fan tray is composed of independent variable‑speed fans that automatically adjust to the ambient temperature, to reduce power consumption in well-managed facilities while helping to enable optimum operation of the switch. The system also allows hot swapping of fan trays without negatively affecting the system.
- The system supports an optional door and air filter to help ensure clean airflow through the system. The addition of the air filter satisfies NEBS requirements.
- The Cisco Nexus7700-18Slot Dubai Switch can have up to sixteen 3- or 3.5-kW power supplies. The smaller power supply configuration provides more flexibility and greater control in power provisioning. The 16 power supply bays are designed for future growth, and most common configurations do not require the use of all power supply units for redundant power configurations.
- I/O modules, supervisor modules, and power supplies are accessible from the front, and fabric modules and fan trays are accessible from the back of the chassis.
Integrated Cable Management System
An integrated cable management system, custom designed for the Cisco Nexus7700-18Slot Dubai Switch, supports the cabling requirements of a fully configured system at either or both sides of the switch, providing outstanding flexibility. All system components can easily be removed with the cabling in place, providing ease of maintenance with no disruption.
Easy Operation
A series of LEDs at the top of the Cisco Nexus7700-18Slot Dubai chassis provides a clear summary of the status of the major system components, alerting operators to the need to conduct further investigation. These LEDs report the power supply, fan, fabric, supervisor, and I/O module status.
Energy-Efficient Design
The Cisco Nexus7700-18Slot Dubai uses 3.5-kW and 3-kW power supplies that are 96 and 90 percent efficient or greater, so less power is dissipated as heat, and more power is available for the system to use than with typical power supplies. These high-efficiency power supplies allow smaller power configuration and provide flexible power provisioning
