Cisco Nexus® 9508 Sets New Power Efficiency Test Result Record
During this video podcast we share with you the independent results of the Cisco Nexus® 9508 power efficiency test. In previous Lippis Report Video podcast on the Nexus® 9508 we reported the Nexus® 9508's performance test results and programmability attributes both of which are new industry standards. We have another standard in power efficiency to report. What we found in this Lippis/Ixia test is that the Cisco team delivers the most power efficient data center modular switch we have tested to date. I'm joined with Thomas Scheibe, Director Product Management at Cisco as we review the Cisco Nexus® 9508 power efficiency design, test methodology and results.
