MDS9124 16-PORTS ACTIVE FABRIC SWITCH

Overview
The Cisco MDS 9124 Fabric Switch is a 4Gbps Fibre Channel switch which supports up to 24-ports customers can may use to deploy high performance storage area networks in their enterprise. The Cisco MDS 9124 Fabric Switch supports VSAN, an industry standard for fabric virtualization enabling more efficient network use by creating hardware-based isolated environments within a single physical SAN fabric or switch. In addition, advanced traffic management features such as PortChannels, virtual output queuing, and Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF) simplify deployment while optimizing the fabric. Management is simplified with a broad range of integrated tools that range from a consistent Cisco MDS 9000 family Command Line Interface (CLI) to Cisco Fabric Manager and an industry-standard API that includes support for SNMP and SMI-S for integration with third-party and user-developed tools.

Features
⁍ The Cisco MDS 9124 Fabric Switch provides on demand “pay as you grow” ports starting with 8 and growing to 24 with 8 port upgrades. There are no hidden charges for ISL trunking, extended distance support, security, realtime performance and event monitoring and virtual SANs (Storage Area Network).


⁍ Dynamic and growing businesses require the flexibility to manage their investment wisely. Designed to scale as business needs dictate with the option of purchasing an 8-port, 16-port or 24-port model up front plus an 8-port activation upgrade license to “pay as you grow”.


⁍ Individual ports can be configured with short-, medium-, or long-wavelength SFP optics for connectivity of up to 10 kilometers. Coarse Wave Division Multiplexer solutions with very long wave optic options can be used to extend connectivity up to 100 kilometers.


⁍ Integrates the industry’s most advanced analysis and debugging tools for proactive diagnostics, verification of connectivity and route latency, and capturing and analyzing traffic.
