Cisco MDS 24-Port 40-Gbps Fiber Channel over Ethernet Module
The next-generation Cisco MDS 24-Port 40-Gigabit Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) Module
(DS-X9824-960K9) provides Cisco Unified fabric connectivity to the SAN core. It empowers mid-size and
large enterprises that are rapidly deploying cloud-scale applications with Inter-Switch Link (ISL) consolidation,
four times the bandwidth, and exceptional investment protection for their SANs. The data center fabric is
already using 40-Gbps connectivity in the core for more efficient convergence, higher performance, and lower
total cost of ownership (TCO). With the entire Cisco Nexus
®
Family supporting 40-Gbps FCoE, this capability
can now be extended to the SAN core. You can extend the benefits of FCoE beyond the access layer to the
data center core with a full line-rate FCoE module for the Cisco MDS 9700 Series Multilayer Directors.
For more information on the Cisco MDS 24-Port 40-Gbps FCoE Module, see the Cisco MDS 9700 24 Port
40 Gbps Fiber Channel over Ethernet Module Datasheet.
