N3K-C3548P-10G replacement

[EdouardZorrilla0939]

Greetings,

Please let me know if I should replace the N3K-C3548P-10G with N3K-C3548P-10GX or is it better go to the Catalyst 9000 series then moving away from Nexus.

Thanks,

Edouard.

Hi Edouard,

Nexus 3500 is an ultra low latency switch, dedicated for Data Centers, for applications which are very sensitive to latency (trading, media streaming etc). Catalyst 9000 is a campus oriented device.

If you have a DC, you can compare the available Nexus platforms: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/switches/nexus-9000-series-switches/models-comparison.html

Depending on the environment you have, you can choose the one that suits your needs best.

Stay safe,

Sergiu
