A low-latency, high-density switch for general deployments and high-performance computing
What is our primary use case?
Currently, our infrastructure relies on hyper-converged technology, in conjunction with Cisco infrastructure, which is essential for our features. Spamify utilizes Cisco infrastructure for its functionality, while Linksys manages connections with other systems. Our servers handle computation, storage, and related technologies, while Cisco takes care of network functions, including routing and switching. We also employ Cisco's firewall for security purposes, both externally and internally. Now, we're in search of structural virtualization technology with security and virtualization capabilities for version 4.16.

How was the initial setup?
Nexus is straightforward. The time needed to deploy depends on what you're doing and your knowledge of Cisco systems.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Nexus is a costly solution. However, it's an excellent device, so you expect the price to be high. It has a three-year license.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Cisco Nexus nine out of 10. I recommend it.
A stable and strong solution with a responsive customer support team
What is most valuable?
The product has a stable and strong server panel switch.
What needs improvement?
Data center access is stable and high speed but it is not compatible with Cisco's server hardware devices.
The solution can be technically improved and can have features like automation, better visibility, better functionality, and cheap pricing.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with the solution for the past fourteen years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The product is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The tool is scalable and we have 7000 users for it.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support team is really good. If there is any problem the support team gets to the root of the problem and provides speedy resolution to the issue.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We switched to Cisco Nexus as it provides more supporting features to our data center.
How was the initial setup?
The deployment of the solution took two weeks. Three two four engineers were required for the deployment. The maintenance is done by Cisco Partners.
What about the implementation team?
The implementation was done by an integrator.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution is very expensive. Currently, we pay an yearly licensing cost. I rate the pricing a nine out of ten.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend the solution as it is good and stable but also advise comparing Cisco Nexus with other solutions before choosing it to see if some other solution is providing better technical features.
I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten.
Offer high performance capabilities and enables efficient data transmission and processing
What is our primary use case?
We mainly use them as core network switches. They are configured as a VPC cluster, and we have distribution layer switches attached to both chassis with virtual port channels. Additionally, we have another VDC to connect all the access layer switches for user connectivity.
How has it helped my organization?
Line rate is very important for us. The resilience is improved as we have redundant supervisors on both chassis, and the benefit of connecting downstream with VPC bundles allows us to present it as one logical entity to the downstream switches and other devices that support link aggregation.
What is most valuable?
The in-service software upgrade (ISSU) feature is quite valuable. It allows us to make changes and test them before putting them into the production environment. There are many other useful features as well, such as programmability, modularity, and virtualization.
What needs improvement?
Talking about our environment and architecture, maybe it would be useful to have the whole configuration synchronized. Currently, the switches don't behave like the 4500 switches in terms of acting as one physical chassis. So the multi-chassis PortChannel feature is not applicable in this case.
Maybe you could improve the timing of the settings. Currently, only the VPC configuration is synchronized, but other configurations (routes, access lists, etc.) must be manually configured on each chassis.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Cisco Nexus for over seven years. No, more like ten years. The latest connectors I have experience with were bought about six years ago. We're planning to upgrade the old data center hardware.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Within these last six years of operation, I haven't experienced any issues. There has been no downtime, lagging, or crashing. It's very reliable and stable. Actually, we have never had any hardware or software issues. I must say I am very happy with Nexus.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability features are very useful. Although our chassis only has four slots, we have filled both the providers and the Broadline card slots. So, in terms of viewing it that way, we cannot scale much because those chassis are fully occupied. But if we had a larger one, like a six-slot chassis, we would have more capability to scale.
Only the technology administrator is using the solution.
How are customer service and support?
I have contacted Cisco tech support but for other reasons and other products, not specifically for opening a case for Nexus.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before Nexus, I used to have Catalyst 6500 switches. Those 6500 series chassis gave us a lot of problems. Too many problems, actually. And we had a Cisco ASA firewall blade within those chassis.
And they were running outdated software. So, in fact, it was the firewall blade that caused us too many problems instead of the chassis. The chassis itself was working well and performing fine, but the firewall card was not suitable for our needs. That was one aspect. Additionally, those chassis had been in operation for more than five years.
As we are a local government, we have a policy to renew hardware every five years. That's because we need to maintain all the hardware and software in the latest versions and keep up with the technology lifecycle of the technology we use.
How was the initial setup?
It was pretty straightforward. The license space deployed in Nexus was about CGS. I used to be a field engineer, so deploying access wasn't really challenging. It was not so hard; it was straightforward.
We have both chassis on-premises. We actually have a hybrid data center. We have on-premises equipment and a Microsoft Azure environment with three subscriptions. It took a week to fully deploy Nexus.
What about the implementation team?
We worked with a reseller. Cisco helped us set it up. There were two people involved in the deployment.
What was our ROI?
It's worth the money we're paying for Nexus. The money we paid for these equipment is well justified. All the problems disappeared when we switched to Nexus, and our data center has been very stable. We have had six or seven years without any problems with Cisco Nexus, so they are very reliable. The price is worth it.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It's a little bit expensive. I know that there are other vendors that offer more affordable options. But in general, the technology we acquire from Cisco is quite expensive due to the high taxes imposed by the government on technology. We have explored options from other countries as well.
But we have been using Cisco for more than ten years. Since 2010, we have been using Cisco. We used to have Enterasys before that. But since 2010, we have been using Cisco.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
What other advice do I have?
People who are used to working with Cisco IOS will be very familiar with Nexus. The command line is a little different, but it's practically the same as IOS. So if they have experience working with Cisco IOS or even Juniper, they will be familiar with the command line for Nexus. From a management perspective, it's important to have a well-architected system.
Overall, I would rate Cisco Nexus a ten out of ten.
