The Cisco MDS 9134 Fabric Switch offers Fibre Channel Storage switching that delivers advanced storage networking capabilities with "pay as you grow" port activation features and starts at 24 ports. This switch is designed for midrange to large enterprise customers, provides line-rate 4Gbps and 10Gbps ports designed to support high-performance, high-density, enterprise-class availability. The switch offers value by providing flexibility, high availability, security, and ease of use at an affordable price in a compact one rack-unit (1RU) form factor or 2 rack units (2RU) for 48 and 64 port stacked solutions. With the flexibility to optionally expand from 24 to 32 ports in 8-port increments or to activate the two, 10Gbps ports for higher performance, the Cisco MDS 9134 fabric switch is designed to offer the port and rack densities required for a top-of-rack switch in the datacenter and provides edge connectivity in enterprise SANs. The MDS 9134 is designed to offer non-blocking architecture, with 32, 4Gbps ports and the 2, 10Gbps ports all operating at full line rates concurrently.
With the MDS 9134 there are no hidden license and software support charges for ISL trunking, extended distance support, security, real-time performance and event monitoring and virtual SANs. Designed for environments where downtime is not an option, the hot-pluggable design supports non-disruptive upgrades, VSANs for fault isolation, with redundant power supplies and PortChannels for ISL resiliency.
This switch meets the low-cost, high-performance, ease-of-management and security requirements of small-to-medium-scale storage environments. Plus the Cisco MDS 9134 is fully compatible with the HP C-series, MDS 9500 Directors, MDS 9200 semi-modular and MDS 9100 fixed-port Fabric Switches for transparent, end-to-end service delivery in large data-center core-edge deployments providing investment protection and a solution you won’t outgrow.
