Cisco Nexus 1010 Appliance High-Availability Pair with 32x Nexus 1000V

The Cisco Nexus® 1010 and 1010-X Virtual Services Appliances (VSAs) are members of the Cisco®Nexus 1000V Series (model 1010 is shown in Figure 1). The appliances host a number of Virtual Service Blades (VSBs) to include the following: the Cisco Nexus 1000V Virtual Supervisor Modules (VSM), the Cisco Virtual Security Gateway (VSG), the Cisco Prime™ Network Analysis Module (NAM), and the Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) for LAN VSB. These VSBs provide a comprehensive solution for virtual access switching. Dedicated hardware for the Cisco Nexus 1000V VSM eases virtual access switch deployment for the network administrator, and with its support for additional VSBs, the Cisco Nexus 1010 or 1010-X is a crucial component of a virtual access switch solution.
