The Cisco Nexus 5596UP Storage Solutions Bundle (part number N5K-C5596UPM-B-F16) is a versatile and high-performance switching solution designed for data centre environments requiring advanced storage connectivity. The switch is packed with 48 ports and offers a wide range of connectivity options, making it ideal for diverse enterprise networks. It supports managed operations, ensuring that the system administrator can closely monitor and control the traffic flow for optimal performance and security.
This bundle comes with a rack-mountable design, which is perfect for efficient integration within standard server racks, helping to save space in data centres. Additionally, it includes a 16-port Fibre Channel module (N55-M16FP-B), increasing the capabilities of the switch for connection with Fibre Channel-based storage systems. This module can easily handle a variety of storage traffic profiles, ensuring fast and reliable data transfers to and from storage arrays.
An essential part of this bundle is the inclusion of 16 x Cisco MDS 9000 Family 2/4/8-Gbps Fibre Channel-Shortwave SFP+ LC transceivers (DS-SFP-FC8G-SW). These fibre transceivers provide both flexibility and scalability since they support multiple data rates (2Gbps, 4Gbps, and 8Gbps), delivering top-tier performance that can adapt to the specific needs of the network environment. Shortwave operation ensures they are well-suited for SAN fabrics in a common data centre setup, while the LC connectors ensure seamless interoperability with the system's fibre optic infrastructure. This full setup ensures best-in-class connectivity and enterprise-level performance for all storage networking applications.
