The Cisco Nexus 5020 switch (Part Number: N5K-C5020P-BFS) is a highly reliable managed switch designed primarily for data centres and enterprise environments. The switch comes in a rack-mountable form factor, making it suitable for easy integration into standard server racks. It features 40 ports, offering extensive connectivity options to meet diverse network demands. This switch is especially effective for businesses requiring high-throughput and low-latency networking as it delivers a 10 Gigabit Ethernet connection across these ports.
The Cisco Nexus 5020 supports Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, which enhances network efficiency and management capabilities by providing both basic switching functionality and the more advanced routing functions. For those who prioritise energy efficiency, the switch comes with advanced power management features. Additionally, it utilises front-to-back airflow, known as Back-to-Front (BFS) cooling, making it an ideal choice for data centres where thermal management is a critical concern.
The switch runs on Cisco’s NX-OS software, designed to ensure a robust networking platform capable of handling and prioritising a wide range of data centre workflows. The switch is also equipped with high-performance FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) capabilities, allowing for both storage network and Ethernet traffic.
