The Cisco MDS 9000 Family 16-Port Storage Services Node, part number DS-X9316-SSNK9, is a modular plug-in card designed to enhance performance and data management within the Cisco MDS 9000 Series family of switches. It provides up to 16 Fibre Channel ports, offering high throughput for data-intensive storage applications. Each of these ports can be configured for speeds up to 4 Gbps, benefiting environments that handle a large volume of read/write operations.
One of the standout features of this storage services node is its support for advanced storage services, which include SAN extension, data migration, and data replication. The Cisco MDS 9000 Family integrates these technologies seamlessly to ensure reliable storage solutions in enterprise data centres. With Virtual Storage Area Network (VSAN) technology, the node enables the creation of isolated networks for specific business units or applications, adding an extra layer of data separation and security.
In addition to its functional advantages, this plug-in module offers flexibility with hot-swappable capabilities. This ensures minimal downtime during upgrades or replacements, making it ideal for scenarios that demand continuous availability. Moreover, the storage services node includes extensive support for Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) for efficient wide-area network (WAN) transmission, enabling long-distance storage connectivity without a significant impact on speed or performance.
This Cisco MDS plug-in module is both scalable and versatile, designed to meet the growing demands of storage networks. Whether you're expanding an existing storage area network or implementing a new architecture, the 16-port DS-X9316-SSNK9 module is engineered to empower organisations with reliable, high-performance storage connectivity solutions.
