The Cisco SFS 3000 Series InfiniBand to Fibre Channel Gateway Module (SFS-XFCH-02F02K9=) is an expansion module designed to provide high-speed and flexible connectivity between InfiniBand and Fibre Channel networks. This module significantly enhances the performance of data centres by offering a smooth integration of FC SANs (Storage Area Networks) over an existing InfiniBand fabric. With the support of two ports, this gateway enables seamless communication between devices using different protocols while maintaining top-tier throughput and minimal latency, ideal for high-performance computing environments.
The module's purpose is to bridge the gap between the Ethernet-based Fibre Channel network commonly used for storage and the faster, more efficient InfiniBand fabric that handles high-speed data transmission. The dual-port configuration offers improved redundancy and enhanced bandwidth, ensuring robust failover capabilities in case of port issues. Additionally, the SFS-XFCH-02F02K9= helps data centres create a more scalable and cost-effective infrastructure by allowing a smooth transition from older systems to more modern, high-speed networks.
Another standout feature of this module is its high compatibility with Cisco SFS series switches, making it a versatile choice for organisations seeking to optimise their networking and data storage performance. It also has robust management features, allowing administrators to effectively monitor and control network traffic, giving them a clear overview of how their network resources are being utilised.
