Description
Cisco MDS 9700 48-Port 32-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module – For Switching Fabric
Data Networking – 48 x Fiber Channel Network – Optical Fiber32 Gigabit Ethernet – Fiber Channel – Hot-swappable CHANNEL SWITCHING MOD
The MDS 9700 48-Port 32-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module enables administrators to scale and consolidate SAN deployments with fewer hardware components. Your SAN administrators can consolidate workloads from hundreds of high-performance virtual machines and scale them with incremental updates as your SAN grows while protecting your existing investment.
This switching module ships with a built-in analytics engine. The engine can analyze real-time Fibre Channel exchanges and report on various metrics in detail
enabling comprehensive and timely monitoring of any potential performance problems among SAN edge devices. The on-board network processing unit (NPU) in the module allows I/O-level metrics to be computed at every switch. The NPU can monitor all flows on all ports at line rate. The NPU examines every exchange passing through the 32-Gbps application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) to capture flow metrics such as exchange completion time
maximum number of outstanding exchanges
data access latency
read and write I/O operations per second (IOPS)
throughput
logical unit number (LUN) access pattern (sequential or random)
and I/O block sizes.
The switching module is hot swappable and compatible with 4-
8-
16-
and 32-Gbps Fibre Channel interfaces. This module also supports hot-swappable Enhanced Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP+) transceivers. Individual ports can be configured with Cisco 32-
16-
and 8-Gbps SFP+ transceivers. Each port supports 500 buffer credits for exceptional extensibility without the need for additional licenses. With the Cisco Enterprise Package license
up to 8191 buffer credits can be allocated to an individual port
enabling full link bandwidth over long distances with no degradation in link utilization.
The 32-Gbps Fibre Channel switching module also provides existing features such as predictable performance
high availability
advanced traffic management capabilities
integrated VSAN and IVR
resilient high-performance ISLs
hardware-assisted slow-drain support
comprehensive security frameworks
fault detection and isolation of errored packets
and sophisticated diagnostics. Product Type:Switching Module
