DS-C9148-32P-K9 Cisco 32 Ports SFP+ Fibre Channel Switch New

Power and Innovation of Fibre Channel Switch

Resiliency and High Availability

The DS-C9148-32P-K9 Cisco 32 Ports Fibre Channel Switch is designed to provide resiliency and high availability in Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs). Some of the features that contribute to this include:

• Redundant power supplies and fans: The switch includes dual power supplies and fans, which provides redundancy in case of a failure in any of these components. This helps to ensure that the switch remains operational even in the event of a hardware failure.
• Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF): This protocol is used for determining the shortest path between devices on the SAN, and it helps to ensure that data is transmitted over the most efficient path possible. This can help to improve the overall performance of the SAN and increase its resiliency.
• Fabric Failover: This feature allows the switch to automatically detect and recover from a failure in the SAN fabric. If a failure is detected, the switch can automatically redirect traffic to an alternate path to ensure that data can continue to flow.
• Quality of Service (QoS): The switch supports Quality of Service (QoS) features such as traffic shaping and prioritization, which can help to ensure that important traffic such as voice or video is given priority over less critical traffic.
• Advanced security: The switch supports security features such as Fibre Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP) and Common Information Model (CIM), which allows for secure communication between devices on the SAN.

In summary, The part Cisco 32 Ports Fibre Channel Switch provides resiliency and high availability through its hardware redundancy, fabric failover, advanced security and Quality of Service (QoS) features. These features work together to ensure that the SAN remains operational even in the event of a failure, and that data is transmitted over the most efficient path possible.

Robust Security and Dynamic Quality

The DS-C9148-32P-K9 Cisco 32 Ports Fibre Channel Managed Switch is designed to provide robust security and dynamic quality in Fibre Channel storage area networks (SANs). Some of the features that contribute to this include:

• Advanced Security: The switch supports security features such as Fibre Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP), Common Information Model (CIM), and Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), which allows for secure communication between devices on the SAN and prevents unauthorized access to the switch and the SAN.
• Access Control Lists (ACLs): The switch can be configured with access control lists (ACLs) to restrict access to specific SAN resources, such as storage devices and servers, based on user credentials.
• Role-based Access Control (RBAC): The switch supports role-based access control (RBAC), which allows for different levels of access to the switch and the SAN based on user roles. This helps to ensure that only authorized users can access specific SAN resources.
• Quality of Service (QoS): The switch supports Quality of Service (QoS) features such as traffic shaping and prioritization, which can help to ensure that important traffic such as voice or video is given priority over less critical traffic. This helps to ensure that the SAN remains responsive and that data is transmitted over the most efficient path possible.
• Dynamic Fabric Provisioning: The switch supports dynamic fabric provisioning, which allows for the automatic discovery and configuration of devices on the SAN. This can help to improve the overall performance of the SAN and increase its resiliency.

In summary, The part Cisco 32 Ports Fibre Channel Managed Switch provides robust security through its advanced security features such as Fibre Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP), Common Information Model (CIM), and Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). It also provides dynamic quality through its Quality of Service (QoS) features and dynamic fabric provisioning. These features work together to ensure that the SAN remains secure and responsive while providing an efficient and dynamic environment.
