SAN

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 have benefited our customers for decades now and have advanced the storage networking industry at large.

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 members.

Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC) is a scalable application for managing Fibre Channel SAN. NDFC One View provides insights into what is happening within the Fibre Channel SANs at multiple locations in a single pane of glass.

Cisco DIRL offers solutions to SAN congestion without any dependency on hosts or storage. Cisco DIRL is innovative technology that bridges the performance gaps between ultra-fast All-Flash NVMe storage Arrays and slower application servers.

By focusing on performance, observability, and automation, Cisco delivers 64G Fibre Channel Done Right with Congestion Management and Prevention and a SAN Insights Discovery Tool.

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.
