Twenty years ago, Cisco started shipping the Cisco MDS 9000 storage networking switches. Since then, Cisco has introduced a number of groundbreaking storage networking innovations like Nexus switching and management technologies. These innovations
Cisco supports the design and implementation of high-speed Fibre Channel fabrics, leading a change to the traditional FSPF link cost calculation for 128 Gbps serial interfaces due to the Cisco-only capability to create logical links with up to 16
Current sustainability efforts require power-efficient solutions that can deliver more bandwidth at a reduced wattage. Cisco recently introduced 48 ports on the Cisco MDS 9700 64-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module, a real technological breakthrough.
Data volumes keep growing, budgets are not. The workforce is highly mobile and distributed, applications live within hybrid-clouds, the edge of networks is now hosting data and cybersecurity is clearly a top priority.
Dynamic Ingress Rate Limiting represents the newest and shining arrow in the quiver of MDS 9000 storage network administrators for addressing slow drain and SAN congestion situations.
SAN congestion is a real challenge and can manifest in different ways. In order to exemplify the concepts, we compare the SAN to a highway system. This blog has two parts.

Data is growing at an astonishing rate. Trends like cloud, IoT and digitization are imposing higher demands on how data is managed, transported, backed up and restored. Increased business dependence on IT means downtime has more meaningful and
As customers continue to look for points of differentiation in their markets, the Storage Area Network (SAN) continues to play a vital role in enabling businesses to adopt new technologies and applications to help them grow. To provide the highest
