Cisco MDS 9120 20-Port Multilayer Intelligent Fabric Switch DS-C9120-K9
Part Number: DS-C9120-K9
Highlights
● Cost-effective, intelligent storage networking – Advanced features in a compact, cost-effective design simplify deployment and administration of small and medium-scale storage-area networks (SANs).
● Scalability and consistent service delivery – Common platform architecture and intelligent services across all Cisco® MDS 9000 Family switches ensures scalability and consistent service delivery as your SAN grows.
● Simplified storage management – The Cisco MDS 9100 Series includes built-in storage network management with all features available through a command-line interface (CLI) or Cisco Fabric Manager, a centralized management tool that simplifies management of multiple switches and fabrics.
● Intelligent network services: Introduces 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 fabricwide QoS to enable migration from SAN islands to enterprise-wide storage networks.
● Total cost of ownership (TCO)-driven design – The Cisco MDS 9100 Series offers advanced management tools for overall lowest TCO. VSAN technology for hardware-enforced, isolated environments within a single physical fabric for secure sharing of physical infrastructure further decreases TCO.
● Comprehensive security framework – Supports RADIUS and TACACS+, FC-SP, SFTP, SSH and SNMPv3 implementing Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), VSANs, hardware-enforced zoning, Access Control Lists, and per-VSAN role-based access control.
● Sophisticated diagnostics – This feature provides industry-first intelligent diagnostics, protocol decoding, and network-analysis tools as well as integrated call-home capability for added reliability, faster problem resolution, and reduced service costs.
● Industry-leading port density – Up to forty 2/1-Gbps autosensing Fibre Channel ports are incorporated in a compact design for environments that require maximum port density per rack unit.
● Two options – Twenty- and forty-port configurations (Cisco MDS 9120, MDS 9140), packaged in a one rack unit (1RU) form-factor chassis with dual hot-swappable power supplies and fans, provide the flexibility needed to address a broad range of deployment requirements.
