Overview

Cisco MDS 9500 Multilayer Directors, HP C-Series Family
 

The HP C-Series, MDS 9500 Multilayer Directors deliver many unique innovations for constructing powerful, large scale storage networks. With these innovations, users can build highly scalable, always available, high performance storage network solutions with comprehensive security and unified management. The MDS 9500s have multiple layers of intelligence, including multi-protocol support (Fibre Channel, iSCSI, FCIP), Virtual SANs (VSANs), embedded diagnostics and role-based security.

The MDS 9500 Directors deliver industry-leading scalability and performance (up to 2.4 Terabits per second internal system bandwidth), high port density (up to 528-ports in an MDS 9513) and high availability to lower TCO and enable integrated SAN infrastructures. HP delivers the Cisco MDS 9500 Multilayer Directors with high availability features designed in. The base units include a 6, 9 or 13 slot modular chassis with dual supervisor 2 modules and power supplies to help ensure smooth, continuous operation and non-disruptive upgrade capability. The MDS 9513 also includes dual fabric 2 Modules making even the backplane fabric both redundant and hot-swappable, thereby taking fabric availability to a higher plane. The open expansion slots of the 9500 Directors can be filled by optional MDS 9000 Family Modules, which include 12, 24 and 48-port, 4Gb Fibre Channel modules, 24 and 48 port 8Gb performance and 4/44-port host optimized modules, 4-port 10Gb Fibre Channel Module as well as an MDS 9000 18/4 MultiServices Module with 18, 4Gb FC ports, 4, 1Gb IP ports and a cryptographic processing engine enabling integrated Fibre Channel, FCIP and iSCSI operation. The 18/4 MultiServices Module along with the optional MDS 9500 Storage Media Encryption package license can provide encryption for data at rest on storage tape media as network-wide service for added security to the SAN environment. Most MDS 9000 modules are interchangeable across MDS 9500 Directors and 9200 Series Fabric Switches, providing a smooth migration path, common sparing and investment protection.

Layered, intelligent features also include integration with fabric-based applications to fabric-wide services for a wide range of solutions for business continuance, storage virtualization, network assisted backup and information life cycle management. All integrated with HP Storage Essentials and CiscoWorks RME, delivering ease of administration, improved customer productivity, and infrastructure management through a single pane-of-glass. This common software platform also ensures that the user's SAN environment will scale seamlessly and adapt as business grows and technology evolves.

NOTES: Fibre Channel ports on the MDS 9000 port cards may be configured to accept several different types of SFP or Long Wave SFP optic transceivers. When ordering the MDS 9000 port cards A7464A, A7465A, AE378A, A7559A and AE391A, all available ports are shipped with the short wave SFP optic transceivers included. Other SFPs must be ordered separately.
** Appropriate country power cords and PDU cords will be included for each AC power supply for the MDS 9500 Directors based on ship to destination information. U.S. twist lock power cords are also available and may be ordered separately.
