• Evolving the Data Center
• Multiprotocol SAN access is a service = agility
• Meet high availability requirements for all types of traffic
• Scale beyond 15Tbps, 40GbE and 100GbE ready
Cisco’s Nexus 7000, Nexus 5000, and Nexus 2000
provide the most flexibility and agility for multiprotocol
converged networks, especially when combined with
EMC’s broad storage portfolio: Symmetrix, Atmos,
VNX, and CLARiiON.

What you need, when you need it, where you need it
Evolve data center at your own pace
Connect to any storage through same universal access point
Unlimited flexibility for storage
Cisco’s Unified Port technology simplifies the switch
purchase, increasing design flexibility while removing
specific protocol bandwidth bottlenecks. Flexible LAN
& SAN can be based on business needs, not
technical limitations, and service can be adjusted
based on the demand for specific traffic.

What is it?
– A federation HW and SW platform that can
extend storage beyond the boundaries of the
data center
– Located in the SAN to present hosts with a
federated view of EMC and non-EMC storage
What is unique?
– Distributed coherent cache
– N+1 scale out cluster
– N-1 resiliency
– Architected for Global Apps
EMC Connectrix MDS Fibre Channel distance
solutions support EMC VPLEX Active/Active inter-
connection between storage devices (for example,
Symmetrix) through data centers across the cloud.
