Cisco MDS 9148T Fibre Channel Switch (Port Side Intake) – 32 Gbit/s – 48 Fiber Channel Ports – Manageable – Rack-mountable – 1U – Redundant Power Supply 48ACTIVE PORTS +32G SW INTAKE

The next-generation Cisco® MDS 9148T 32-Gbps 48-Port Fibre Channel Switch (Figure 1) provides high-speed Fibre Channel connectivity for All-Flash arrays. This switch offers state-of-the-art analytics and telemetry capability built into its next-generation Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) platform. This switch allows seamless transition to Fibre Channel Non-Volatile Memory Express (FC-NVMe) workloads whenever available without any hardware upgrade in the SAN. It empowers small
midsize
and large enterprises that are rapidly deploying cloud-scale applications using extremely dense virtualized servers
providing the benefits of greater bandwidth
scale
and consolidation. Some of the main benefits for a small-scale Storage Area Network (SAN) are automatic zoning
nonblocking forwarding
and smaller port groups of 16 ports. Benefits for a mid- to large-size SAN include higher scale for Fibre Channel control-plane functions
virtual SANs
fabric login (FLOGI)
device alias and name server scale
48 ports of 32-Gbps non-oversubscribed line-rate ports
bidirectional airflow
and a fixed-form FC-NVMe-ready SAN switch with enhanced Buffer-to-Buffer (B2B) credits connecting both storage and host ports and Fibre Channel link encryption. Large-scale SAN architectures built with SAN core directors can expand 32-Gbps connectivity to the server rack using these switches in either switch mode or Network Port Virtualization (NPV) mode. Additionally
the switch supports enhanced diagnostic features such as Inter-Switch Link (ISL) and Host-Bus-Adapter (HBA) diagnostics
read diagnostic parameter
link cable beacon
and advanced reliability features such as Forward Error Correction (FEC) with HBA ports. Product Type:Fibre Channel Switch
