From what my friend said, I remember that it is interesting, because it is some kind of "standard" and that it is not only for the network level, but can also simulate / or connect things like SCSI drives to controllers, etc... Looking forward if you find the time to write something about it. Greetings from Vienna, Robert Thank you for taking it into account, even if it is a “high tech” niche.

Though, I do see it as a nitche technology really only targeted to high performance computing clusters and high end oracle clusters.

Last week a friend of mine who is working on Cisco equipment showed me a quick info of the Infiniband technology. Wondering that an article in your style about this technology would be very interesting for the non Cisco specialist audience. I am a new reader to your blog.

How about your opinion of the backplane for NEXUS 7000 System. in 8 slot switch , I heard that 1 slot has 80 Gbps because. NEXUS 7000 system has 80*8 = 640GBPS system Is it true? Thank you for your information for CISCO NEXUS 7000.

A single blue LED on all the removable parts (fan trays, power supplies and modules) means no longer will an operator turn off or replace the wrong part on the Nexus system, the network operations center can turn the LED on via the NX-OS and ensure that one of the common causes of errors is avoided. This is a bit like the cable management features - simple but very effective. One further usability features that many people have commented they like is the “beacon” LED.
