Nexus 1000V Brings VM Level Granularity

Network Hurdles to Virtualization

• vMotion moves VMs across

physical ports—the network

policy must follow

• Impossible to view or apply

network policy to locally switched

traffic

• Need collaboration between

network and server TeamsVLAN101


What is VN-Link?

Extends the network to the virtualization layer

Requires innovation within networking equipment

How is the Product Priced?

Nexus 1000V is licensed per CPU socket, each CPU requires 1 license, no limit on the number of cores per CPU

CPU licensing is inline with VMware vSphere licensing, provides customer flexibility for increasing number of cores per socket

Today’s server motherboards can accommodate 1-8 CPUs and each CPU has 1-6 cores
