vide added function and value
The Cisco MDS 9509 for IBM System Storage offers 1, 2, 4, 8 and 10 Gbps link speeds with up to
336 Fibre Channel ports in a 14U enclosure
High performance and manageability
for SANs
The
Cisco MDS 9509 for IBM
®
System Storage™ provides 1, 2, 4,
8 and 10 Gbps Fibre Channel switch
connectivity and intelligent network
services to help improve the security,
performance and manageability
required to consolidate geographically
dispersed storage devices into a large
enterprise SAN.
Improved internal bandwidth for higher
scalability
The Cisco MDS 9509 for IBM System
Storage utilizes two
Supervisor-2
modules
to support high availability
and performance. The Supervisor-2
Module combines an intelligent control
module and a high-performance cross-
bar switch fabric in a single unit. It uses
Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF)
multipath routing, which supports load
balancing across a maximum of
16 equal-cost paths that dynamically
reroute traffic if a switch fails.

Summary
physical SAN fabric or switch. Each VSAN can be zoned as a typical SAN, maintaining its own fabric services for added scalability and resilience. VSANs allow the cost of SAN infrastructure to be shared among more users, while ensuring absolute segregation of traffic and retaining independent control...
