Marketing Information | The next-generation Cisco® MDS 9132T 32-Gbps 32-Port Fibre Channel Switch (Figure 1) provides high-speed Fibre Channel connectivity from the server rack to the SAN core. It empowers small midsize and large enterprises that are rapidly deploying cloud-scale applications using extremely dense virtualized servers providing the dual benefits of greater bandwidth and consolidation. Small-scale SAN architectures can be built from the foundation using this low-cost low-power non-blocking line-rate and low-latency bi-directional airflow capable fixed standalone SAN switch connecting both storage and host ports. Medium-size to large-scale SAN architectures built with SAN core directors can expand 32-Gbps connectivity to the server rack using these switches either in switch mode or Network Port Virtualization (NPV) mode. Additionally investing in this switch for the lower-speed (4- or 8- or 16-Gbps) server rack gives you the option to upgrade to 32-Gbps server connectivity in the future using the 32-Gbps Host Bus Adapter (HBA) that are available today. The Cisco® MDS 9132T 32-Gbps 32-Port Fibre Channel switch also provides unmatched flexibility through a unique port expansion module (Figure 2) that provides a robust cost-effective field swappable port upgrade option. This switch also offers state-of-art analytics and telemetry capability built into its next generation ASIC platform. SAN telemetry computed on switch integrated hardware from the IO flows can be analyzed on board via CLI or NX-API and also streamed to any analytics visualization tool via the dedicated port. The main features of the MDS 9132T 32-Gbps 32-Port Fibre Channel Switch include: ? High performance: MDS 9132T architecture with chip-integrated nonblocking arbitration provides consistent 32-Gbps low-latency performance across all traffic conditions for every Fibre Channel port on the switch. ? Capital Expenditure (CapEx) savings: The 32-Gbps ports allow users to deploy them on existing 16- or 8-Gbps transceivers reducing initial CapEx with an option to upgrade to 32-Gbps transceivers and adapters in the future. ? High availability: MDS 9132T switches continue to provide the same outstanding availability and reliability as the previous-generation Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches by providing optional redundancy on all major components such as the power supply and fan. Dual power supplies also facilitate redundant power grids. ? Pay-as-you-grow: The MDS 9132T Fibre Channel switch provides an option to deploy as few as eight 32-Gbps Fibre Channel ports in the entry-level variant which can grow by 8 ports to 16 ports and thereafter with a port expansion module with sixteen 32-Gbps ports to up to 32 ports. This approach results in lower initial investment and power consumption for entry-level configurations of up to 16 ports compared to a fully loaded switch. Upgrading through an expansion module also reduces the overhead of managing multiple instances of port activation licenses on the switch. This unique combination of port upgrade options allow four possible configurations of 8 ports 16 ports 24 ports and 32 ports. |
