Product Highlights

FCIP for remote SAN Extensions Data distribution, data protection, and business continuance services are significant components of today's information-centric businesses. The ability to efficiently replicate critical data on a global scale not only ensures a higher level of data protection for valuable corporate information, but also increases utilization of backup resources and lowers total cost of storage ownership. The Cisco MDS 9216i uses the open-standard FCIP protocol to break the distance barrier of current Fibre Channel solutions and enable interconnection of SAN islands over extended distances.

Advanced FCIP Features to Facilitate Business Continuance and Disaster Recovery The Cisco MDS 9216i is designed to support robust business continuance services using FCIP for remote connectivity in conjunction with a suite of advanced features, such as VSANs and Inter-VSAN Routing (IVR), hardware-assisted FCIP compression and encryption, FCIP Write Acceleration, and FCIP Tape Acceleration.

VSANs and IVR Enhance SAN Security and Stability VSANs allow more efficient storage network utilization by creating hardware-based isolated environments within a single physical SAN fabric or switch. Each VSAN can be zoned as a typical SAN and maintains its own fabric services for added scalability and resilience. The Cisco MDS 9216i supports Inter-VSAN Routing (IVR), the industry's first routing functionality for Fibre Channel. IVR allows selective transfer of data traffic between specific initiators and targets on different VSANs while maintaining isolation of control traffic within each VSAN.

High Performance SAN Extension with Compression and FCIP Write Acceleration The Cisco MDS 9216i supports hardware-based FCIP compression to maximize the effective WAN bandwidth of SAN extension solutions. The Cisco MDS 9216i achieves up to a 30:1 compression ratio, with typical ratios of 2:1 over a wide variety of data sources. The Cisco MDS 9216i also supports FCIP Write Acceleration, a feature that can significantly improve application performance when storage traffic is extended across distance. When FCIP Write Acceleration is enabled, WAN throughput is optimized by reducing the latency of command acknowledgements. Similarly, the Cisco MDS 9216i supports FCIP Tape Acceleration, which significantly improves throughput over WAN links for remote tape backup operations.

Advanced Traffic Management for High-Performance, Resilient Fabrics
  • Virtual Output Queuing ensures line rate performance on each port, independent of traffic pattern, by eliminating head-of-line blocking.
  • 255 buffer-to-buffer credits are assigned to each port for optimal bandwidth utilization across distance. When extended distances are required, up to 3500 credits can be allocated to a single port within a group of four Fibre Channel ports.
  • Port Channels allow users to aggregate up to 16 physical ISLs into a single logical bundle, providing optimized bandwidth utilization across all links. The bundle can consist of any port from any module in the chassis, ensuring that the bundle remains active even in the event of a module failure.
  • Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF)-based multipathing provides the intelligence to load balance across up to 16 equal cost paths and, in the event of a switch failure, dynamically reroute traffic.
  • Quality of service can be used to manage bandwidth and control latency in order to prioritize critical traffic.
  • Fibre Channel Congestion Control (FCC), an end-to-end, feedback-based congestion control mechanism, augments the Fibre Channel buffer-to-buffer credit mechanism to provide enhanced traffic management.

Industry's Most Advanced Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Tools The Cisco MDS 9000 Family integrates the industry's most advanced analysis and diagnostic tools. Power-on self test (POST) and online diagnostics provide proactive health monitoring. The Cisco MDS 9216i implements diagnostic capabilities such as Fibre Channel Traceroute for detailing the exact path and timing of flows and Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) to intelligently capture network traffic. Once traffic has been captured, it can then be analyzed with the Cisco Fabric Analyzer, an embedded Fibre Channel analyzer. Comprehensive port- and flow-based statistics facilitate sophisticated performance analysis and service-level agreement (SLA) accounting.

Comprehensive Solution for Robust Network Security The Cisco MDS 9216i offers an extensive security framework to protect highly sensitive data crossing today's enterprise networks. The Cisco MDS 9216i employs intelligent packet inspection at the port level, including the application of ACLs for hardware enforcement of zones, VSANs, and advanced Port Security features.
Extended zoning capabilities are enabled to ensure that LUNs are accessible only by specific hosts (LUN zoning), to limit SCSI read command for a certain zone (read-only zoning), and to restrict broadcasts to only the selected zones (broadcast zones). VSANs are used to achieve higher security and greater stability by providing complete isolation among devices that are connected to the same physical SAN. In addition, Fibre Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP) provides switch-switch and host switch Diffie-Hellman Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (DH-CHAP) authentication supporting RADIUS or TACACS+, to ensure that only authorized devices access protected storage networks. Finally, for both FCIP and iSCSI deployments, the comprehensive IPsec protocol suite delivers secure authentication, data integrity, and hardware-based encryption.

Ease of Management The Cisco MDS 9216i presents a consistent, logical CLI. Adhering to the syntax of widely known Cisco IOS® Software CLI, the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI is easy to learn and delivers broad management capability. The Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI is an extremely efficient and direct interface designed to provide optimal functionality to administrators in enterprise environments.
Cisco Fabric Manager is a responsive, easy-to-use Java application that simplifies management across multiple switches and fabrics. Cisco Fabric Manager enables administrators to perform vital tasks such as topology discovery, fabric configuration and verification, provisioning, monitoring, and fault resolution. All functions are available through a secure interface, enabling remote management from any location.
Cisco Fabric Manager may be used independently or in conjunction with the optional Cisco Fabric Manager Server and other HP management applications such as HP OpenView and HP Storage Essentials. Cisco MDS SAN-OS also provides an extensive API for integration with third-party and user developed management tools.

iSCSI for Cost Effective Extension of SAN Storage to Ethernet Attached Servers Many IT managers have been hesitant to extend SAN access beyond their mission-critical applications to midrange data center applications because of the complexity and cost involved in upgrading large numbers of midrange servers to Fibre Channel. The Cisco MDS 9216i addresses these limitations by enabling IT organizations to extend their storage networks using cost-effective Ethernet infrastructure. All the benefits of SANs, including increased storage utilization, centralized backups, easier addition of incremental storage capacity, management simplification, and reduced overall total cost of ownership (TCO), can be extended to a new range of applications. Because the Cisco MDS 9216i is an integral component of the Cisco MDS 9000 Family, Ethernet attached servers will enjoy the same SAN scalability, availability, manageability, and intelligent services as those servers connected directly to a Fibre Channel SAN, while maintaining the cost and ease-of-use benefits of Ethernet and IP.
