Key Features and Benefits:

• Improved programmability
  Offers support for Cisco NX-API, Linux containers, Extensible Markup Language (XML), and JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), the OpenStack plug-in, Python, and Puppet and Chef configuration and automation tools.
• High performance and scalability
  Features a powerful CPU, DRAM, and dynamic buffer allocation, making the switch excellent for massively scalable data centers and big data applications.
• High availability
  Virtual PortChannel (vPC) technology provides Layer 2 multi-pathing by eliminating the Spanning Tree Protocol. It also enables fully used bisectional bandwidth and simplified Layer 2 logical topologies without the need to change the existing management and deployment models. Advanced maintenance capabilities include hot and cold patching and Graceful Insertion and Removal (GIR) mode. The switch uses hot-swappable power-supply units (PSUs) and fans.
