Overview
Cisco MDS 9124e Fabric Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem
The Cisco MDS 9124e Fabric Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem, a 4Gbps Fibre Channel switch, delivers an embedded option for HP BladeSystem c-Class customers deploying storage area networks in their enterprise. The integrated design frees up rack space, enables a reduction of components such as cables and SFPs, and utilizes shared power and cooling within the BladeSystem enclosure resulting in space and cost savings. The hot-pluggable design, as well as support for non-disruptive software upgrades further enhances the availability features of the overall solution. The Cisco MDS 9124e Fabric Switch supports VSAN, an industry standard for fabric virtualization enabling more efficient network use by creating hardware-based isolated environments within a single physical SAN fabric or switch. In addition, the N-Port Virtualizer FlexAttach mode streamlines the infrastructure by reducing the number of domains to manage while enabling the ability to add or move servers without impacting the SAN. Advanced traffic management features such as PortChannels, virtual output queuing, and Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF) optimize the fabric. Management is simplified with a broad range of integrated tools that range from a consistent Cisco MDS 9000 family Command Line Interface (CLI) to Cisco Fabric Manager and an industry-standard API that includes support for SNMP and SMI-S for integration with third-party and user-developed tools. Also, switch management is integrated with HP BladeSystem management tools including HP Onboard Administrator for BladeSystem, HP Systems Insight Manager, and HP Storage Essentials creating a unique and tightly integrated experience for server and storage administrators. The Cisco MDS 9124e Fabric Switch combines value and performance in an embedded SAN switch, enabling increased productivity and substantial cost savings benefiting organizations with limited dedicated IT staff.
Key Features and Benefits
The Cisco MDS 9124e Fabric Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem Integrated design lowers The Cisco MDS 9124e Fabric Switch hot-plugs into the back of the HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure, freeing up rack space. Interconnect for servers and switches internal to the BladeSystem reduces cabling, TCO through SFPs and associated costs. Shared power and cooling resources further reduces cost and additional consolidation points of failure. Exceptional performance, Employs high speed technology for storage networking. Up to eight external facing ports auto-sense scalability and flexibility lower bandwidth components. N-Port Virtualizer feature uses NPIV technology to eliminate domain count concerns and FlexAttach mode extends the technology to enable servers to be added or moved without impact to the SAN. Designed for environments where downtime is not an option. Up to six FC switches are supported in the High availability BladeSystem enclosure. Hot-pluggable design supports non-disruptive upgrades, VSANs for fault isolation, and PortChannels for ISL resiliency. Dynamic and growing businesses require the flexibility to manage their investment wisely. Designed to Flexible licensing scale as business needs dictate with the option of a 12-port model and a 12-port upgrade license. Simplifies deployment while optimizing core edge fabrics with support for virtual output queuing, flexible Traffic management buffer credit allocation, PortChannels, Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF), and more. Support for up to 16 VSANs per switch that can be zoned as its own fabric enables efficiency, lower cost VSAN support through shared usage, the flexibility of independent configuration control, and increased security through isolation of devices on the same physical SAN.
