Cisco Systems, Inc. has announced the Cisco
Nexus 3548 with Algorithm Boost technology, a new networking innovation which
delivers up to 60% network-access performance improvement over competing
full-featured 10 Gigabit ethernet switches.
Designed
for use in high performance computing, high performance trading, and big data
environments, this new switch offers network-access performance as low as 190
nanoseconds, a performance improvement enabled by the Algo Boost technology
developed by silicon engineers at Cisco.
The
Cisco Nexus 3548 with Algo Boost enhances the Cisco High Performance Trading
Fabric architecture that helps enable business agility and intelligence for
customers without imposing performance or latency penalties.
The
Nexus 3548 one-rack-unit (1RU) 10 GB Ethernet switch running in "warp mode"
offers latencies as low as 190 ns in those environments with small to medium
Layer 2 and Layer 3 scaling requirements.
The
ultra-low-latency switch also facilitates the delivery of stock market data to
financial trading servers in as little as 50 ns with the warp switch port
analyzer (SPAN) feature. The Nexus 3548 also includes Hitless Network Address
Translation (NAT), a critical feature to allow algorithmic traders to easily
connect to any trading venue they desire without any latency penalty.
Cisco
Nexus 3548 switch latency speeds were verified using Spirent TestCenter across
various workloads and using testing specifications developed jointly with
Spirent Communications.
David
Yen, senior vice president of Data Center Group at Cisco, said: "Today, Cisco
has leapfrogged our competitors in delivering a full featured switch that offers
the lowest latency Ethernet in the networking industry. The Nexus 3548 with the
unique Cisco Algo Boost technology implemented in ASIC provides a robust feature
set to give financial traders more control over their sophisticated trading
algorithms and respond more quickly to the changes in the market.
"In
addition to the performance, this unique ultra-low-latency Ethernet technology
is part of the unified data center fabric and offers strong total cost of
ownership for commercial high-performance computing and big data environments as
well as scale-out storage topologies."
The above topic provide information about Cisco Nexus 3548 with Algorithm Boost technology and this topic will helps others to get awareness of new networking innovation. It also provides features and performance of Cisco Nexus 3548.
