Re: Somewhat OT: Virtualization and Cisco Nexus Switches

Also keep in minde 2 things.
1. The 1000 is a virtual switch that runs on a VM host it also replaces the
fuction of the VMWare Virt Switch.

2. It requires Enterprise Plus and also has a cost from Cisco to buy the
1000.

All of this said we have tested it and because of the features, are on the
road to implentation in production.

This is based on our multi customer model in the data center and being able
to carve out space for each customer.
