The Cisco Storage Services Module (SSM), part number DS-X9032-SSM=, is a high-performance expansion module designed for connectivity with storage area networks (SANs). This module supports up to 32 ports, enabling extensive connectivity options that are crucial for modern data centres requiring high-speed data handling capabilities.
The DS-X9032-SSM= comes with port aggregation features that allow for more efficient bandwidth use, which is key for optimising storage traffic in large networks. Additionally, all of the 32 ports are Fibre Channel-enabled, allowing for high-speed data transfer rates that are typical in enterprise-grade storage applications. The module serves as a versatile solution for expanding SAN capabilities, making it easier to scale your storage infrastructure as needed.
It is compatible with a wide range of Cisco storage switches and directors, ensuring smooth integration into existing environments. With multiple operational modes, this module can be customised to suit different network configurations, whether operating in a core, edge, or mixed-mode SAN environment. Furthermore, you benefit from advanced diagnostics and monitoring features that promote better network visibility and troubleshooting efficiency.
This expansion module also supports virtual SAN (VSAN) technology, which improves traffic segregation and management in large-scale deployments. The feature enables administrators to partition storage logically, thus enhancing security and maintainability. Additionally, it provides built-in hardware acceleration features to support storage services such as replication, ensuring optimal performance and reduced latency.
