HP Cisco MDS 9000 4Gb FC 4 km AE494A Dépliant

 
The Cisco MDS 9000 18/4-port Multiservice Module is optimized for deployment in high-performance storage area network
extension solutions, distributed intelligent fabric services, as well as cost-effective IP storage and mainframe connectivity in enterprise
storage networks. Natively integrating support for intelligent fabric applications, the Cisco MDS 9000 Family 18/4-Port Multiservice
Module provides a platform for distributed fabric services. The Cisco MDS 9000 Family 18/4-Port Multiservice Module transparently
offers such advanced functions to devices connected to the fabric; facilitating ease of deployment, scalability, and high availability.
With eighteen 4-Gbps Fibre Channel ports, four, 1 Gigabit Ethernet IP Storage Services ports, and FCIP software license the MDS
9000 18/4 module easily adds ports and functionality to a MDS 9200 family switch or MDS 9500 Family Director. The Cisco MDS
9000 18/4 is ideally suited for enterprise storage networks that require high performance SAN extension or cost-effective IP Storage
connectivity for applications such as Business Continuity and iSCSI host attachment to Fibre Channel storage devices.

Key Features and Benefits

Integrated Fibre Channel and IP Storage Services in an optimized form factor:

Supports eighteen 4-Gbps Fibre Channel interfaces for high performance storage area network (SAN) connectivity and
four Gigabit Ethernet ports for Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) and Small Computer System Interface over IP (iSCSI)
storage services.

Industry's highest-performance Inter-Switch Links (ISLs):

Supports up to sixteen 4-Gbps or 4, 10-Gbps Fibre Channel links in a single PortChannel.
Links may span any port on any module within a chassis for added scalability and resilience.
Up to 4095 buffer-to-buffer credits can be assigned to a single Fibre Channel port to extend storage networks over vast
distances.

Hardware Assisted Encryption Security:

On-board crypto processing engine supports secure IEEE standard Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256-bit
algorithms
IPsec for Data in Transit over IP networks
FIPS 140-2, level 2 certification

Intelligent network services:

Uses virtual SAN (VSAN) technology for hardware-enforced, isolated environments within a single physical fabric.
Access control lists (ACLs) for hardware-based intelligent frame processing.
Advanced traffic-management features such as Fibre Channel Congestion Control (FCC) and fabric-wide quality of
service (QoS) to facilitate migration from SAN islands to enterprise-wide storage networks.

Comprehensive network security framework:

Supports RADIUS and TACACS+, Fibre Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP), Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), Secure
Shell (SSH) protocol, Simple Network Management Protocol Version 3 (SNMPv3) implementing Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES), VSANs, hardware-enforced zoning, ACLs, and per-VSAN Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).
Additionally Gigabit Ethernet ports support IPsec authentication, data integrity, and hardware-assisted data encryption.
