What is the major different Between catalyst and Nexus switches?

[Suresh Vinayagam Subramanian · Accepted solution]

Hi Murugan,

Catalyst and nexus are two different platform switches . 

Nexus are mostly deployed in the datacenter environment as nexus as more forwarding capacity and low latency switches . Also mainly support Datacenter technology and convergence network support . Example N5K support both data and storage.

Also nexus OS has more robust  than compare to catalyst IOS .

Thanks,
