While doing some work this morning, I stumbled across a product announcement from
Cisco that is pretty exciting.
Cisco has introduced a new line of data center-class switching known as the
Nexus 7000 Series Switch. That name is about as catchy as it gets! Reviewing some of the information
Cisco has about this next generation platform, there's a slew of innovations that include security and availability. Here's what the new behemoth looks like:
There's a lot of details about this new platform on
cisco.com. Make sure to check it out and read about the features included in it's OS known as the
NX-OS. The link-layer
AES encryption looks
particularly interesting for those wondering about the security benefits of the platform. When I get a chance I'll browse the available info and share anything interesting I find.

From the security perspective, the Cisco Nexus is the first implementation of Cisco TrustSec. Beyond the per-hop, wire-speed encryption, the new approach to managing policy is almost as cool.
