Overview |
|
|
| The Cisco MDS 9222i Multiservice Modular Fabric Switch brings flexible, high performance Storage Area Network (SAN) solutions usually reserved for director class switches, to the department or remote branch office level. This “all-in-one-box solution” provides eighteen 4-Gbps Fibre Channel ports and four 1-Gbps Ethernet IP storage services ports in the base unit, plus an open slot for modular expansion. The MDS 9222i Fabric Switch is capable of expanding up to 66 Fibre Channel ports with an optional 48 port 4-Gbps module and shares a consistent architecture with the MDS 9500 Series Multilayer Directors and allows modules to be moved between all 92xx and 95xx series switches. The MDS 9222i is backward compatible and future ready with all MDS 9000 modules providing outstanding investment protection. Integrating Fibre Channel 2, 4 and 10Gb technology and IP Storage Services for iSCSI and FC over IP and other intelligent fabric applications services into a single system allows maximum flexibility for user configurations. High availability features including redundant power supplies and fans, stateful process restart, and In Service Software upgrade provides exceptional uptime performance for your Storage Area Network. Using hardware-based compression, the MDS 9222i allows immediate savings on WAN infrastructure bandwidth utilization and backup performance. |

Features & Benefits |
|
|
- Mitigate risk: MDS 9222i Fabric Switch is a highly available solution that protects data from unauthorized access and keeps data private and protects the company’s reputation while meeting regulatory compliance and avoiding financial consequences of a security breach.
- Reduce complexity: Delivers multiple storage networking services in one box with comprehensive end-to-end management.
- Accelerate growth: Quickly upgrades from 22 up to 70 ports by simply plugging in an additional port module.
- Lower operational costs: Higher port density with optional MDS 9000 Modules, more standard software features resulting in lower software support costs and fewer devices to manage.
- Increase efficiency: Hardware-based data compression and tape acceleration enhances remote backup operations and allows more data to be transferred over WAN cost effectively. This allows a shift in budget from operations to innovations.
- Investment protection: Future ready and backward compatible with all MDS 9000 switching modules.
