| Key Features and Benefits |
|
|
|
| Integration with Cisco MDS 9000 Family Switching Services | The Multiprotocol Services Module integrates seamlessly into the Cisco MDS 9000 Family of Multilayer Directors and Fabric Switches. Traffic can be routed between any IP storage port and any other port on a Cisco MDS 9000 Family switch. The Cisco MDS 9000 Family Multiprotocol Services Module supports the full range of services available on other MDS 9000 Family Switching Modules including VSANs, security, and traffic management. |

Product Highlights
| Multiprotocol Connectivity To Cisco MDS 9500 and 9200 Series Switches | Integral switch component providing 2 ports of multiprotocol connectivity for 1Gb Ethernet to 2/1-Gb Fibre Channel ports allowing IP connections using FCIP and iSCSI. |
| | |
| High Performance SAN Extension with Compression and FCIP Write Acceleration | The Cisco MDS 9000 Family Multiprotocol
Services Module supports hardware-based FCIP compression to maximize the
effective WAN bandwidth of SAN extension solutions. The Cisco Multiprotocol
Services Module achieves up to a 30:1 compression ratio, with typical ratios
of 2:1 over a wide variety of data sources. The Cisco Multiprotocol Services module also supports FCIP Write Acceleration, a feature that can significantly improve application performance when storage traffic is extended across distance. When FCIP Write Acceleration is enabled, WAN throughput is optimized by reducing the latency of command acknowledgements. Similarly, the Cisco Multiprotocol Services module supports FCIP Tape Acceleration, which significantly improves throughput over WAN links for remote tape backup operations. Together, FCIP Compression, FCIP Write Acceleration, and FCIP Tape Acceleration enable optimal performance of business continuance services. |
| | |
| iSCSI for Cost-Effective Extension of SAN Storage to IP-Enabled Servers | Many IT managers have been hesitant to extend SAN access beyond their mission-critical applications to midrange data center applications because of the complexity and cost involved in upgrading large numbers of midrange servers to Fibre Channel. The Cisco MDS 9000 Family Multiprotocol Services Module addresses these limitations by enabling IT organizations to extend their storage networks using cost-effective Ethernet infrastructure. All the benefits of SAN, including increased storage utilization, centralized backups, easier addition of incremental storage capacity, management simplification, and reduced overall total cost of ownership (TCO), can be extended to a new range of applications. Because the Cisco Multiprotocol Services Module is an integral component of the Cisco MDS 9000 Family, Ethernet attached servers will enjoy the same SAN scalability, availability, manageability, and intelligent services as those servers connected using Fibre Channel, while maintaining the cost and ease-of-use benefits of Ethernet and IP. |
|
| |
| Comprehensive Solution for Robust Network Security | Addressing the need for airtight
security in storage networks, the Cisco MDS 9000 Multiprotocol Services
Module offers an extensive security framework to protect highly sensitive
data crossing today's enterprise networks. The Cisco Multiprotocol Services
Module employs intelligent packet inspection at the port level, including
the application of ACLs for hardware enforcement of zones, VSANs, and advanced
Port Security features. Extended zoning capabilities are enabled to ensure that LUNs are accessible only by specific hosts (LUN zoning), to limit SCSI read command for a certain zone (read-only zoning), and to restrict broadcasts to only the selected zones (broadcast zones). VSANs are used to achieve higher security and greater stability by providing complete isolation among devices that are connected to the same physical SAN. In addition, Fibre Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP) provides switch-switch and host switch Diffie-Hellman Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (DH-CHAP) authentication supporting RADIUS or TACACS+, to ensure that only authorized devices access protected storage networks. Finally, for both FCIP and iSCSI deployments, the comprehensive IPsec protocol suite delivers secure authentication, data integrity, and hardware-based encryption. |
|
| |
| Virtual SANs (VSANs) | VSANs are Hardware-enforced, isolated environments within a single physical fabric for secure sharing of physical infrastructure. VSANs allow the cost of SAN infrastructure to be shared among more users, while assuring absolute segregation, security of traffic, and retaining independent control of configuration on a VSAN-by-VSAN basis. |
|
| |
| Comprehensive Security Framework | Supports role-based access control, VSANs, hardware-enforced zoning, FC-SP, ACLs, RADIUS authentication, SNMPv3, SSH, and SFTP. |
|
| |
| Integrated Management | Integrated storage network management with all features available via CLI or Cisco Fabric Manager. This centralized management simplifies management of multiple switches and multiprotocol fabric environments. Also provides integration with HP OV-SAM and Cisco Resource Manager Essentials (RME). |
|
|
|
| Interoperability | Offers compatibility with a broad range of HP servers and operating systems, as well as disk and tape storage devices; see current compatibility matrix. |
| | |
| Serviceability | Hot-swappable switching modules provides shorter mean time to repair. |
|
| |
| Advanced Traffic Management for High-Performance, Resilient Fabrics |
The following advanced traffic management capabilities integrated into
every Cisco MDS 9000 Family Multiprotocol Services Module simplify deployment
and optimization of large-scale fabrics.
