Data distribution, data protection, and business continuance services are significant components of
today's information-centric businesses. The ability to efficiently replicate critical data on a global scale
not only ensures a higher level of data protection for valuable corporate information, but also increases
utilization of backup resources and lowers total cost of storage ownership. The Cisco MDS 9000 18/4
uses the open-standard FCIP protocol to break the distance barrier of current Fibre Channel solutions
and enable interconnection of SAN islands over extended distances.

VSANs allow more efficient storage network utilization by creating hardware-based isolated environments
within a single physical SAN fabric or switch. Each VSAN can be zoned as a typical SAN and maintains
its own fabric services for added scalability and resilience. The Cisco MDS 9000 18/4 supports Inter-
VSAN Routing (IVR), the industry's first routing functionality for Fibre Channel. IVR allows selective transfer
of data traffic between specific initiators and targets on different VSANs while maintaining isolation of
control traffic within each VSAN.

The Cisco MDS 9000 18/4 supports hardware-based FCIP compression to maximize the effective WAN
bandwidth of SAN extension solutions. The Cisco MDS 9000 18/4 achieves up to a 43:1 compression
ratio, with typical ratios of 4:1 over a wide variety of data sources. The Cisco MDS 9000 18/4 also
supports FCIP Write Acceleration, a feature that can significantly improve application performance when
storage traffic is extended across distance. When FCIP Write Acceleration is enabled, WAN throughput is
optimized by reducing the latency of command acknowledgements. Similarly, the Cisco MDS 9000 18/4
supports FCIP Tape Acceleration, which significantly improves throughput over WAN links for remote
tape backup operations.

Virtual Output Queuing ensures line rate performance on each port, independent of traffic
pattern, by eliminating head-of-line blocking.
Up to 4095 buffer-to-buffer credits can be assigned to an individual port for optimal bandwidth
utilization across long distances.
Port Channels allow users to aggregate up to 16 physical ISLs into a single logical bundle,
providing optimized bandwidth utilization across all links. The bundle can consist of any port from
any module in the chassis, ensuring that the bundle remains active even in the event of a module
failure.
Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF)-based multipathing provides the intelligence to load balance
across up to 16 equal cost paths and, in the event of a switch failure, dynamically reroute traffic.
Quality of service can be used to manage bandwidth and control latency in order to prioritize
critical traffic.
Fibre Channel Congestion Control (FCC), an end-to-end, feedback-based congestion control
mechanism, augments the Fibre Channel buffer-to-buffer credit mechanism to provide enhanced
traffic management.
