The Cisco MDS 9148 Multilayer Fabric Switch with part number DS-C9148D-8G32P-K9 is designed to meet the stringent requirements of data centres and enterprise storage networks. This switch offers 32 ports, allowing it to handle high-volume traffic with ease. It utilises 8 Gbps Fibre Channel (FC) technology, providing a robust and scalable storage area network (SAN) solution. The switch supports desktop deployment, meaning it can be placed on flat surfaces without the need for rack mounting, making it ideal for smaller IT environments or setups with space constraints.
One of the key features of the MDS 9148 is its multilayer architecture, delivering highly reliable and resilient operations. This architecture ensures that the switch can handle multiple layers of processing, allowing for intelligent communication between devices. The switch includes Integrated Traffic and Congestion Management tools to help optimise performance, even under high loads, with advanced quality-of-service (QoS) features.
The MDS 9148 also features low-latency capabilities, ensuring fast data transfers for mission-critical applications. It is compatible with a range of storage protocols, including Fibre Channel-over-Ethernet (FCoE) and iSCSI, providing future-proofing in hybrid environments. This model is a reliable option for enterprises needing a high-performance, space-efficient fabric switch for their storage network operations.
Security is a priority with the Cisco MDS 9148, including a suite of authentication and encryption technologies that help protect sensitive data from unauthorised access. Additionally, hot-swappable hardware components ensure minimal downtime during maintenance or upgrades, contributing to the overall robustness of this model.
