Cisco UCS Requirements

Does UCS (Servers and Storage) have to have Nexus infrastructure or it can also work with Cisco Catalyst 6509 series switches.

If I understand correctly, Nexus is recommended switches for optimal performance and UCS should also work with Cisco Catalyst infrastructure as well.

Thanks

Both switches will work fine. If you already have Catalyst, then you can use that for IP connectivity with UCS.

Nexus platform offering higher speeds and more connectivity options reducing number of devices you have in the rack.
