Cisco MDS 9000 48-Port 8-Gbps Advanced Fibre Channel Switching Module:
For large-scale storage networking environments, the 48-port 8-Gbps Advanced Fibre Channel switching module
delivers full-duplex aggregate backplane switching performance of 512 Gbps, making this module ideal for high-
performance and virtualized servers. With Arbitrated Local Switching, the 48-port 8-Gbps Advanced module
delivers full-duplex aggregate performance of 768 Gbps across locally switched ports on the module. Arbitrated
Local Switching on the 48-port 8-Gbps Advanced Fibre Channel module is well-suited for the deployment of dense
virtual machine clusters with locally mapped storage.
Cisco MDS 9000 Family 8-Gbps Advanced Fibre Channel Switching Modules provide up to 528 ports with an
aggregate bandwidth of 8.4 terabits per second (Tbps). Cisco MDS 9000 Family 8-Gbps Advanced Fibre Channel
Switching Modules also provide Cisco VMpath technology, which enables advanced virtual machine-aware SAN
provisioning and monitoring for virtualized data centers. Cisco MDS 9000 Family Advanced Fibre Channel
Switching Modules are hot-swappable and compatible with 1/2/4/8- and 10-Gbps interfaces.
