Introduction
The Cisco NX-OS software is a data center-class operating system built with modularity, resiliency, and
serviceability at its foundation. Based on the industry-proven Cisco MDS 9000 SAN-OS software, Cisco
NX-OS helps ensure continuous availability and sets the standard for mission-critical data center
environments. The highly modular design of Cisco NX-OS makes zero-effect operations a reality and
enables exceptional operational flexibility.
Several new hardware and software features are introduced for the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch and
the Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extender (FEX) to improve the performance, scalability, and
management of the product line. Cisco NX-OS Release 5.0 also supports all hardware and software
supported in Cisco NX-OS Software Release 4.2.
