NEXUS 7000 vs CAT 6500 (CASE STUDY)

[briangrides]

I thought I would reach out to the pro’s.

I am searching for case study(s) or any documentation for that matter. That might show a good business and technological case study for migrating from a 6500 (or other) based data center infrastructure onto a NEXUS 7000 infrastructure..

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi Brian,

I haven't been able to find any migration case studies however I have found the following two links which have a bit of information comparing the 6500 and Nexus 7000.

You might also find the these two links useful.
