The
Cisco
MDS
9216i
brings
new
capability
to
the
fabric
switch
market.
Sharing
a
consistent
architecture
with
the
Cisco
MDS
9500
Series
Directors,
the
Cisco
MDS
9216i
integrates
both
Fibre
Channel
and
IP
Storage
Services
in a
single
system
to
allow
maximum
flexibility
in
user
configurations.
With
fourteen
2-Gbps
Fibre
Channel
ports,
two
Gigabit
Ethernet
IP
Storage
Services
ports,
and
a
modular
expansion
slot,
the
Cisco
MDS
9216i
is
ideally
suited
for
enterprise
storage
networks
that
require
high
performance
SAN
extension
or
cost-effective
iSCSI
storage
connectivity.
This
unprecedented
level
of
integration
gives
Cisco
MDS
9216i
users
the
benefits
of a
multi-protocol
system
without
sacrificing
Fibre
Channel
port
density.
The
modular
expansion
slot
on
the
Cisco
MDS
9216i
allows
for
the
addition
of
any
Cisco
MDS
9000
Storage
Networking
Module,
so
users
can
add
additional
Fibre
Channel
ports
and
additional
IP
ports
up
to
64
total
ports
(62
1/2/4Gb
Fibre
Channel
and
2,
1Gb
IP). |

Integrated Fibre
Channel and IP
Storage Services in
an optimized form
factor: Supports
fourteen 2-Gbps
Fibre Channel
interfaces for high
performance storage
area network (SAN)
connectivity and two
Gigabit Ethernet
ports for Fibre
Channel over IP (FCIP)
and Small Computer
System Interface
over IP (iSCSI)
storage services.
Industry's
highest-performance
Inter-Switch Links (ISLs):
Supports up to
sixteen 2-Gbps Fibre
Channel links in a
single Port Channel.
Links may span any
port on any module
within a chassis for
added scalability
and resilience. Up
to 3500
buffer-to-buffer
credits can be
assigned to a single
Fibre Channel port
to extend storage
networks over
unprecedented
distances.
Intelligent network
services: Uses
virtual SAN (VSAN)
technology for
hardware-enforced,
isolated
environments within
a single physical
fabric; access
control lists (ACLs)
for hardware-based
intelligent frame
processing; and
advanced
traffic-management
features such as
Fibre Channel
Congestion Control
(FCC) and
fabric-wide quality
of service (QoS) to
facilitate migration
from SAN islands to
enterprise-wide
storage networks.
Comprehensive
network security
framework: Supports
RADIUS and TACACS+,
Fibre Channel
Security Protocol
(FC-SP), Secure File
Transfer Protocol (SFTP),
Secure Shell (SSH),
and Simple Network
Management Protocol
Version 3 (SNMPv3)
implementing
Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES),
VSANs,
hardware-enforced
zoning, ACLs, and
per-VSAN role-based
access control.
Additionally, the
Gigabit Ethernet
ports offer IP
security (IPsec)
authentication, data
integrity, and
hardware-assisted
data encryption for
FCIP and iSCSI.
Sophisticated
diagnostics:
Provides intelligent
diagnostics,
protocol decoding,
and network analysis
tools for added
reliability, faster
problem resolution,
and reduced service
costs. |
