Because enterprises continue to rely on mainframes to power their most critical workloads, having a robust and efficient storage networking solution is more important than ever. The Cisco MDS 9000 Series is newly z17 qualified, includes expanded FICON support, and is perfectly positioned to meet the needs of modern mainframe environments.
Cisco MDS 9000 switches deliver an unmatched security posture for storage area networks, including quantum-resistant encryption, and are differentiated by advanced ASIC design, superior hardware architecture, and sophisticated software control.
New trends in datacenter networking, and uncertainties on the data-dependent compression ratio, are clearly suggesting that 25G FCIP is the best approach to address remote data replication needs. Cisco MDS 9220i is what you need for your high-performance and secure SAN extension projects.
Cisco MDS 9000 Series provides all necessary capabilities to eliminate the noisy neighbor syndrome at the storage network level. By combining proper network design with high-speed links, congestion avoidance techniques such as DIRL, slow drain analysis and SAN Insights, IT administrators can deliver an optimal data access solution on a shared network infrastructure.
The joint adoption of Cisco UCS compute systems and Cisco MDS 9000 Series of storage networking switches provides a significant benefit to the enterprise: advanced design options, easier management and better support.
Troubleshooting MDS 9000 fabrics starts from collecting tech-support files and contacting the Cisco TAC. What is the suggested approach for doing so?
DCNM SAN Insights can turn an elephant of data streamed out of MDS switches into nice charts for troubleshooting and performance analyses. IO flows are self-learned and at scale.
Network demands for remote work have shifted from on-site to at-home, from rigid in-company network environments to flexible and agile network environments.
In this blog series, we’ve discussed many unique advantages of the Cisco MDS 9000 series switches. We explored NVMe/FC support, proven investment protection, the superior security provided by anti-counterfeit technology, and the industry’s unique SAN Analytics solution. Now, let’s look at another important aspect: the Cisco MDS 9000 Series switch architecture and what makes it […]
