Overview
|
Cisco MDS 9222i MultiService Fabric Switch |
||
|
The MDS 9222i MultiService Fabric Switch brings the most flexible storage networking capability available in the fabric switch market today. Sharing a consistent architecture with the MDS 9500 Directors, the MDS 9222i integrates both Fibre Channel and IP Storage Services in a single system to allow maximum flexibility in user configurations. With eighteen 4-Gbps Fibre Channel ports, four Gigabit Ethernet IP Storage Services ports, a four port FCIP software license and an open modular expansion slot that can be used to connect an additional forty-eight ports of 4-Gbps Fibre Channel or even four 10-Gb Fibre Channel ports for Inter-Switch Links, the MDS 9222i is a comprehensive package, ideally suited for enterprise storage networks that require high performance SAN extension or cost-effective IP Storage connectivity for applications such as Business Continuity using Fibre Channel over IP or iSCSI host attachment to Fibre Channel storage devices. The 9222i encrypts data in transit over IP LANs and WANs or while at rest on storage tape media using optional Storage Media Encryption for added security to your SAN environment.adding Built-in SAN/LAN/WAN connectivity, advanced security, management and modular design make it the most adaptive and powerful storage fabric switch available. |

| Key Features and Benefits |
|
|
|
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 9222i 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 9222i 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 9222i 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 9222i supports hardware-based FCIP compression to maximize the effective WAN bandwidth of SAN extension solutions. The Cisco MDS 9222i achieves up to a 43:1 compression ratio, with typical ratios of 4:1 over a wide variety of data sources. The Cisco MDS 9222i 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 9222i supports FCIP Tape Acceleration, which significantly improves throughput over WAN links for remote tape backup operations. |
|
|
|
| Advanced Traffic Management for High-Performance, Resilient Fabrics |
|
|
|
|
| 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 9222i 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 9222i offers an extensive security framework to protect highly sensitive data crossing today's enterprise networks. The Cisco MDS 9222i 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 deployment, the comprehensive IPsec protocol suite delivers secure authentication, data integrity, and hardware-based encryption. |
|
|
|
| Ease of Management |
To meet the needs of administrators the 9222i has thee principle methods
of administration; Command Line Interface, Cisco Fabric Manager, as well
as HP Openview and HP Storage Essentials. 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 9222i 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 9222i 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. |
