Cisco Switching Module switch - 4 ports

Model: DS-X9704=

Cisco Switching Module - Switch - 4 ports - FICON, 10Gb Fibre Channel - plug-in module

The Cisco MDS 9000 Family 4-Port 10-Gbps Fiber Channel Switching Module delivers uncompromising performance with 10-Gbps link bandwidth, 80 Gbps of continuous aggregate bandwidth per module, and the intelligence and advanced features required to make multilayer storage area networks (SANs) a reality. Delivering over five times the effective link bandwidth of 2-Gbps Fiber Channel products, the Cisco 4-Port 10-Gbps Fiber Channel Switching Module includes hardware-enabled innovations designed to dramatically improve performance, scalability, availability, security, and manageability of storage networks, resulting in increased utility and lower total cost of ownership (TCO). The Cisco 4-Port 10-Gbps Fiber Channel Switching Module is hot swappable and includes hot-swappable, X2 form-factor pluggable, SC type interfaces. Individual ports can be configured with short wave or long-wave X2 optical transceivers for connectivity up to 10 kilometers. Up to 250 buffer credits per port are supported for maximum extensibility without requiring additional licensing. With its multiprotocol capability, the Cisco 4-Port 10-Gbps Fiber Channel Switching Module easily integrates IBM Fiber Connection (FICON) protocol, FICON Control Unit Port (CUP) management, and switch cascading to facilitate mainframe connectivity. Virtual SANs (VSANs) allow hardware-based separation of Fiber Channel and FICON traffic switched on a single physical SAN, increasing overall TCO without compromising scalability, availability, manageability, and network security. The Cisco MDS 9000 Family 4-Port 10-Gbps Fiber Channel Switching Module is compatible with all MDS 9500 Series Multilayer Directors as well as MDS 9216A and MDS 9216i multilayer fabric switches providing outstanding value and investment protection.
