The Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switches comprise a modular data center-class product line designed for highly scalable 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks with a fabric architecture that scales beyond 15 terabits per second (Tbps). Designed to meet the requirements of the most mission-critical data centers, it delivers continuous system operation and virtualized, pervasive services. The Cisco Nexus 7000 Series is based on a proven operating system, with enhanced features to deliver real-time system upgrades with exceptional manageability and serviceability. Its innovative design is purpose built to support end-to-end data center connectivity, consolidating IP, storage, and InterProcess Communication (IPC) networks onto a single Ethernet fabric.The Cisco Nexus 7000 10-Slot Fabric Module for the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series 10-Slot chassis is a separate fabric module that provides parallel fabric channels to each I/O and supervisor module slot. Up to five simultaneously active fabric modules work together delivering up to 230Gbps per slot. Through the parallel forwarding architecture, a system capacity of over 4.1Tbps is achieved with these first-generation modules. The fabric module provides the central switching element for the fully distributed forwarding on the I/O modules.
