The Cisco MDS 9000 Family 18/4-Port Multiservice Module, part number DS-X9304-18K9=, is designed to enhance the performance of the Cisco MDS 9000 series. This module features 18 Fibre Channel ports and 4 IP services ports. The plug-in module functionality allows it to be integrated into compatible chassis from the Cisco MDS 9000 series with ease. The mix of Fibre Channel and IP ports provides high flexibility, allowing users to handle diverse network traffic and storage needs simultaneously.
This multiservice module supports both Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) and Inter-VSAN Routing (IVR), ideal for organisations that require highly resilient and scalable storage area networks (SANs). The ability to run different protocols ensures that storage data can be transported across different network environments, enhancing overall data availability. Additionally, this module supports hardware-assisted compression and encryption for secure and efficient transport of data, increasing the module’s applicability in sensitive data environments.
Designed for performance, the Cisco MDS 9000 Family 18/4-Port Multiservice Module is created to deliver high throughput, with its line-rate speed across all ports. This enables data transfers with minimal delays, making it suitable for enterprise-level environments requiring efficient data management. It also features hot-swappable capabilities, ensuring minimal disruption during replacements or upgrades. This module offers support for both 11:05 simultaneous FCIP tunnels and robust virtual SAN (VSAN) technology, which allow further separation and isolation of traffic flows across the network.
