Cisco MDS 9132T 32G FC Enterprise switch,24 active ports,24x16G SW

From the server rack to the SAN core, high-speed Fibre Channel connectivity is provided by the next-generation Cisco® MDS 9132T 32-Gbps 32-Port Fibre Channel Switch . It gives small, medium, and big businesses the tools they need to develop cloud-scale applications quickly using incredibly dense virtualized servers, resulting in increased bandwidth and server consolidation. With this low-cost, low-power, non-blocking, line-rate, and low-latency fixed standalone SAN switch linking both storage and host ports, small-scale SAN topologies may be constructed from the ground up. These switches can be used in switch mode or Network Port Virtualization (NPV) mode to increase 32-Gbps connection to the server rack in medium- to large-scale SAN designs constructed with SAN core directors.

Description

Main features

The main features of the MDS 9132T 32-Gbps 32-Port Fibre Channel Switch include:

High performance: MDS 9132T architecture, with chip-integrated nonblocking arbitration, provides consistent 32-Gbps low-latency performance across all traffic conditions for every Fibre Channel port on the switch.

Capital Expenditure (CapEx) savings: The 32-Gbps ports allow users to deploy them on existing 16- or 8-Gbps transceivers, reducing initial CapEx with an option to upgrade to 32-Gbps transceivers and adapters in the future.
High availability: MDS 9132T switches continue to provide the same outstanding availability and reliability as the previous-generation Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches by providing optional redundancy on all major components such as the power supply and fan. Dual power supplies also facilitate redundant power grids.

Pay-as-you-grow: The MDS 9132T Fibre Channel switch provides an option to deploy as few as eight 32-Gbps Fibre Channel ports in the entry-level variant, which can grow by 8 ports to 16 ports, and thereafter with a port expansion module with sixteen 32-Gbps ports, to up to 32 ports. This approach results in lower initial investment and power consumption for entry-level configurations of up to 16 ports compared to a fully loaded switch. Upgrading through an expansion module also reduces the overhead of managing multiple instances of port activation licenses on the switch. This unique combination of port upgrade options allow four possible configurations of 8 ports, 16 ports, 24 ports and 32 ports.
