Overview
Cisco Nexus Hyperfabric is a revolutionary approach to rapid deployment of Data Centre
Networks/Fabrics. It is a cloud-managed vertical stack solution consisting of purpose-built hardware,
software, a cloud controller. With Cisco Nexus Hyperfabric, you can deploy switches wherever your
organization requires them – all they need is connectivity to the public internet to tether to the
cloud controller.
Delivered as a fabric-as-a-service solution, Cisco Nexus Hyperfabric simplifying every step of IT
operations, ensuring repeatable and predictable outcomes. IT, application and DevOps teams
manage the full lifecycle of designing, ordering, deploying, validate, monitoring, and scaling fabrics
without requiring deep networking or operational expertise.
Cisco Nexus Hyperfabric has been engineered for high-performance bandwidth, reliability, simplicity,
in a small footprint. Port speeds in the Cisco 6000 Series Switches range from 10 to 400 Gb, allowing
you to deploy scalable, high-performance fabrics.
With the announcement of Cisco One, the Hyperfabric controller will begin to manage selected Cisco
Nexus 9K switches, providing a complementary approach to on-prem Nexus Dashboard
management.
