What is the difference between Nexus 7000 & C9407R model? Is 7000 capacity is higher than C9407R?

[M02@rt37 · Accepted solution]

@taro75 

First it is not the same OS: Nexus 7000: NX-OS - C9407R:IOS-XE

Also, in terms of raw capacity and performance, the Nexus 7000 series is generally designed for larger-scale data center deployments with higher performance requirements compared to the C9400 Series.

The choice between the Nexus 7000 and C9400 would depend on the specific requirements of your network. If you are designing for a large-scale data center environment with high-density and performance needs, the Nexus 7000 might be more suitable. For enterprise campus networks, the Catalyst 9400 is a versatile and scalable option.

Thank You, on cisco site 9000 is listed under "Access" category. Does access category includes routing functions?
