Orion Products Deliver Native Support for Cisco Nexus Switches

Cisco® Nexus switches provide advanced Cisco networking features in data centers and virtual infrastructure environments. Even though these products provide advanced data center networking functionality, they don't have to be complex to manage. In fact, Orion offers the same ease of management for Nexus switches as any other switch.

Managing Nexus Switches is easy with Orion NPM.

SolarWinds Orion Product Family Provides Native Support for Cisco Nexus Switches

Cisco Nexus 1000V, 2000, 5000, and 7000 switches are designed to provide advanced networking functionality that next-generation, highly virtualized data centers require. For many however, managing the network in a dynamic, virtualized data center environment seems like a new and potentially complex task. SolarWinds Orion makes it easy!

Our Orion product family natively supports the Nexus 1000V, 2000, 5000, and 7000 in precisely the same manner as a physical switch – offering the same award-winning management features and easy-to-use interface.

Managing your Cisco Nexus Switches with Orion:

Monitor, alert, and report on key Nexus switch statistics, such as average response time, packet loss, and buffer misses using Orion Network Performance Monitor (NPM)
Upload and download network configuration files, execute scripts, and schedule automatic configuration backups for your Nexus switches using Orion Network Configuration Manager (NCM)
Analyze network traffic using Cisco NetFlow technology for your Nexus 1000V and 7000 using Orion NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) to easily identify which users, applications, and protocols are consuming the most network bandwidth
Receive, process, forward, and send syslog messages from your Nexus switches using Orion NPM’s built-in syslog viewer
