Cisco MDS 9500 Series Supervisor-2 Module
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The MDS 9500 Series Supervisor-2 Module delivers the latest advanced switching technology with proven Cisco
®
SAN-OS software to power
a new generation of scalable and intelligent multilayer switching solutions for storage area networks (SANs).
Designed to integrate multiprotocol switching and routing, intelligent SAN services and storage applications onto highly scalable SAN switching
platforms, the Cisco MDS 9500 Series Supervisor-2 Module enables intelligent, resilient, scalable, and secure high performance multilayer SAN
switching solutions. The Cisco
®
MDS 9000 Family lowers the total cost of ownership (TCO) for storage networking by combining a robust and
flexible hardware architecture, multiple layers of network and storage intelligence and compatibility with all MDS 9000 Family switching modules.
This powerful combination helps organizations to build highly available, scalable storage networks with comprehensive security and unified
management.
The Cisco MDS Supervisor-2 Module is supported in the MDS 9506, 9509, and 9513 multilayer directors. Figure 1 shows the Cisco MDS 9500
Series Supervisor-2 Module.
