Cisco MDS 9513 for IBM System Storage

Intelligent storage networking for IBM System Storage solutions

Feature Benefits
Supervisor-2 Module
  • High scalability with up to 528 Fibre Channel ports in a single chassis can help simplify operations with fewer directors which can be non-disruptively upgraded as connectivity requirements increase
Dual crossbar switching fabric cards
  • Provides internal switching bandwidth required to enable a mixture of up to eleven 4 Gbps and 10 Gbps FC modules
4 Gbps FC Modules with auto-sensing ports
  • Auto-sensing 1, 2 and 4 Gbps simplifies installation and operation
  • Support for future 4 Gbps enabled servers and storage subsystems helps provide director investment protection
12-port FC Module
  • Can provide high performance for demanding storage networking applications which can help simplify operations
24-port FC Module with port bandwidth reservation
  • Provides a balance between performance and scalability
  • 1, 2, or 4 Gbps switch bandwidth can be matched to specific server, storage and ISL performance requirements
48-port FC Module with port bandwidth reservation
  • Designed to enable a collapsed core/edge solution with fewer switches which helps simplify management and operation.
  • 1, 2, or 4 Gbps switch bandwidth can be matched to specific server, storage and ISL performance requirements
10 Gpbs FC Module
  • When compared to 2 Gbps Fibre Channel links, up to 80% fewer metro links are required to help reduce overall TCO and simplify management
Enterprise Package with Inter-VSAN routing
  • Helps simplify operations with improved security capabilities for large SAN consolidation solutions
  • InterVSAN routing helps consolidate non-Cisco fabrics into a Cisco MDS 9000 for IBM System Storage storage network
Fabric Manager Server Package
  • Fibre Channel performance monitoring, thresholds, reporting, graphing and database capabilities to help simplify management of large enterprise and metro SAN infrastructures
  • Advanced management tools help customers effectively utilise a mixture of 12-, 24- and 48-port switch modules to help reduce TCO.
Mainframe Package
  • Enables mainframe FICON storage networking and consolidation of open and mainframe storage networks.
