What is the difference between Cisco IOS and NX-OS for data center management?

The question is about Cisco

Answer:

Cisco IOS is designed for traditional networking devices such as routers and switches, focusing on general networking tasks. NX-OS, on the other hand, is tailored for data centers and high-performance environments, offering enhanced features like virtualization support, programmability, and scalability for large-scale deployments. NX-OS is better suited for environments like data centers that require advanced storage and network integration.
