Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Dubai

The Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Dubai is a 6-slot switch designed with front-accessible module slots, featuring front-to-back airflow and an integrated cable management system. Representing the latest expansion of the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series modular switches, the Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Dubai boasts an impressive overall switching capacity of more than 83 Terabits per second (Tbps). It offers the industry’s highest-capacity 10, 40, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet ports, supporting up to 768 native 10-Gbps ports, 384 40-Gbps ports, or 192 100-Gbps ports. This substantial system capacity is specifically engineered to address the scalability demands of the most extensive cloud environments. The Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Dubai maintains operational and feature consistency with the existing Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switches, leveraging a shared system architecture, the same Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) technology, and the proven Cisco NX-OS Software releases.

The switches’ fan trays are equipped with variable speed fans that automatically adjust to accommodate fluctuating thermal characteristics, reducing power consumption during typical operating conditions. The standard fan trays included in the Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Dubai also support optional generation 2 fan trays. All fan trays ensure compliance with NEBS standards when combined with the other components of the chassis for specific system configurations. Moreover, the generation 2 fan trays offer NEBS Level-3 acoustic compliance and short-term operation at 55C for the Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Dubai chassis, particularly when configured with the Nexus 7700 M3 100G I/O modules or future I/O modules. The high port density of the switches, coupled with robust device virtualization, comprehensive reliability, and availability features, facilitates the consolidation of multiple switches into the Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Dubai, delivering numerous benefits such as reduced power consumption, improved cooling efficiency, and minimized space requirements, ultimately leading to cost savings.

Features

• The Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Dubai Switch comes with up to four I/O module slots, supports up to 192 x 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 96 x 40 Gigabit Ethernet ports, and 48 x 100 Gigabit Ethernet ports, meeting the demands of small to medium data center deployments in a compact 9 Rack Units (RU) footprint.
• The Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Dubai has two dedicated half-slot supervisors to provide full redundancy, stateful supervisor switchover, and hitless In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) capabilities.
• The Cisco Nexus 7706 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 Nexus 7706 can achieve 10.5 Tbps of forwarding capacity or more.
• Front-to-back airflow helps ensure that the Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Dubai addresses the requirement for hot-aisle and cold-aisle deployments to help provide 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, helping reduce power consumption in well-managed facilities while helping 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 Network Equipment Building Standards (NEBS) requirements.
• The Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Dubai Switch can have up to four 3- or 3.5-(kW) power supplies. The smaller power supply configuration provides more flexibility and greater control in power provisioning. The four power supply bays are designed for future growth.
• 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.

Cable Management System

An integrated cable management system, custom designed for the Cisco Nexus7700-6Slot Dubai, 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 Operations

A series of LEDs at the top of the chassis (except in case of the Cisco Nexus 7700 2-slot 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 Nexus7700-6Slot Dubai use 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.
