Cisco MDS 9513 Multilayer Director C-Series Family

The Cisco MDS 9513 Multilayer Director delivers many unique innovations for constructing the most powerful, large scale storage network infrastructure available in the industry today. With these innovations, companies can build highly scalable, always available storage network solutions with comprehensive security and unified management. The MDS 9000 has multiple layers of intelligence, including multi-protocol support (Fibre Channel, iSCSI, FCIP), Virtual SANs (VSANs), embedded diagnostics and role-based security.

The MDS 9513 delivers industry-leading scalability and performance (2.4 Terabits per second internal system bandwidth), high port density (up to 528-ports) and high availability, to lower TCO and enable integrated SAN infrastructures. HP delivers the Cisco MDS 9513 Multilayer Director with high availability features designed in. The base unit includes a 13 slot modular chassis with dual supervisor 2 modules, dual Fabric Modules and power supplies to help ensure smooth, continuous operation and non-disruptive upgrade capability. The dual fabric Modules are a new innovation which make even the backplanes of the MDS 9513 both redundant and hot-swappable, thereby taking fabric availability to a higher plane. The eleven open expansion slots can be filled by optional MDS 9000 Family Modules, which include 12, 24 and 48-port, 4Gb Fibre Channel and a 4-port 10Gb Fibre Channel Modules as well as an 8-port IP Storage Services Modules, a Multiprotocol Services Module 14+2, 14, 2Gb FC and 2, 1Gb IP ports, new MDS 9000 MultiService 18/4 Module with 18, 4Gb FC, 4, 1Gb IP ports and cryptographic processing engine, 4-port 10 Gb Fibre Channel module and 32-port Storage Services Module enabling integrated Fibre Channel, FCIP and iSCSI operation. The MPS 18/4 module along with the optional Cisco MDS 9500 Storage Media Encryption package can provide encryption for data at rest on storage tape media for added security to the SAN environment. All MDS 9000 modules are interchangeable across MDS 9500 Directors and 9200 Series Fabric Switches, providing a smooth migration path, common sparing and investment protection.

Layered, intelligent features also include integration with fabric-based applications to fabric-wide services for a wide range of solutions for business continuance, storage virtualization, network assisted backup and information life cycle management. All integrated with HP Storage Essentials and CiscoWorks RME, delivering ease of administration, improved customer productivity, and infrastructure management through a single pane-of-glass. This common software platform also ensures that the user's SAN environment will scale seamlessly as business grows and technology evolves.
