Cisco MDS 9250i Multiservice Fabric Switch - 1

IBM Systems and Technology Data Sheet Cisco MDS 9250i Multiservice Fabric Switch for IBM An optimized solution for departmental and branch-office SANs as well as large-scale SANs Highlights Provide 16-Gbps connectivity in a highdensity Fibre Channel switch Enable storage area network (SAN) consolidation with integrated multiprotocol support Deliver high-performance Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) and fast disaster recovery Cisco MDS 9250i Multiservice Fabric Switch for IBM® System Storage® is an optimized platform for deploying high-performance SAN extension solutions, distributed intelligent fabric services and costeffective multiprotocol connectivity for open systems. With a compact form factor and advanced capabilities normally available only on directorclass switches, MDS 9250i is an ideal solution for departmental and remote branch-office SANs as well as large-scale SANs in conjunction with the Cisco MDS 9710 Multilayer Director. Support hardware-based virtual fabric isolation with virtual SANs (VSANs) and Fibre Channel routing with Inter-VSAN routing (IVR) MDS 9250i offers up to 40 16-Gbps Fibre Channel ports, two 1/10-Gigabit Ethernet IP storage services ports and eight 10-Gigabit Ethernet Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) ports in a fixed, two-rackunit (2RU) form factor. MDS 9250i connects to existing native Fibre Channel networks, protecting current investments in storage networks. Enable cost-effective, high-performing Fibre Channel and FCIP connectivity for open-systems Main features and benefits Cisco Data Mobility Manager (DMM) as a distributed fabric service MDS 9250i provides unique multiservice and multiprotocol functions in a compact 2RU form factor. Some of its features and benefits are:1 SAN consolidation with integrated multiprotocol support: MDS 9250i is available in a base configuration of 20 ports of 16-Gbps Fibre Channel for high-performance SAN connectivity, two ports of 10-Gigabit Ethernet for FCIP and Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) over IP storage services and eight ports of 10-Gigabit Ethernet for FCoE connectivity.
