Cisco has launched a new Nexus switch which can be incorporated into other manufacturers' blade systems.
The Nexus 4001 switch sports Converged Enhanced Ethernet capabilities and can handle the Fibre Channel over Ethernet protocol that Cisco has already incorporated in its business-targeted Nexus 5000 switch.
It runs at 10Gbps speeds and comes in a 14 internal port configuration, with six external ports also offered.
According to the Register, the new Cisco switch "cannot be used in the low-energy BladeCenter E or the office environment BladeCenter S chasses".
Earlier this month, Cisco announced that it would add to its Unified Computing blade-mount server line with a range of server rack or server cabinet-mountable products.
Prem Jain, senior vice-president of server access and virtualisation at Cisco, said that the company's UCS system provides businesses with a cost-effective entry point as well as a clear migratory path for future expansion.
