Intro to Cisco Nexus 1000V

Neal MuellerProduct Manager, Nexus 1000VServer Access Virtualization Business Unit


What are the Network Hurdles to Virtualization?

Admins are demanding VM-level troubleshooting and debugging

Compliance requires VM-level isolation and visibility

Admins want to manage virtual networks like their physical networks


Nexus 1000V Brings VM Level GranularityProblems:

Cisco Nexus 1000V• Extends network to the VM • Consistent services • Coordinated, coherent management

• VMotion may move VMs across physical ports—policy must follow

• Impossible to view or apply policy to locally switched traffic

• Cannot correlate traffic on physical links— from multiple VMs
