For high-performance storage networking environments, the Cisco MDS 9000 family 48-port 8-Gbps Fiber Channel switching module delivers an ideal balance of performance and scalability. Its 48 autosensing 1/2/4/8-Gbps ports deliver a total of 192 Gbps of full-duplex bandwidth to meet the performance demands of enterprise-class or highly virtualized servers. Through easy-to-use traffic engineering capabilities, the 48-port 8-Gbps Fiber Channel switching module offers the flexibility to provide predictable high-performance storage and inter-switch connectivity, fully utilizing the available bandwidth.
-
Autosensing 1/2/4/8-Gbps interfaces
Provide high performance and compatibility with existing devices.
-
High-performance ISLs
Support up to 16 links in a single PortChannel; links can span any port on any module within a chassis for added scalability and resilience.
-
Intelligent network services
Provide integrated support for VSAN technology, access control lists (ACLs) for hardware-based intelligent frame processing, and advanced traffic-management features.
-
Integrated hardware-based VSANs and Inter-VSAN Routing (IVR)
Enable deployment of large-scale multisite and heterogeneous SAN topologies. Integration into port-level hardware allows any port or any virtual machine (VM) within a system or fabric to be partitioned into any VSAN.
-
Advanced FICON services
Support 1/2/4/8-Gbps FICON environments, including cascaded FICON fabrics, VSAN-enabled intermix of mainframe and open systems environments, and N Port ID virtualization for mainframe Linux partitions.
-
Sophisticated diagnostics
Provide intelligent diagnostics, protocol decoding, and network analysis tools as well as integrated call home capability for added reliability, faster problem resolution, and reduced service costs.
