Editor's Notes
- #5: Cisco offers one of the broadest data center LAN and SAN switching portfolios in the industry, and continues to invest in FC across the board, to provide high performance and outstanding flexibility to serve diverse data center needs, including the lossless requirements to carry storage traffic (FC, FCoE, iSCSI, NAS) over a simplified infrastructure. All platforms in the portfolio run on a common operating system - NX-OS. Having a single operating system across every element of the data center network, provides operational and functional consistency with tight integration across the unified fabric significantly simplifying operations and providing a foundation for accelerated innovations. Cisco Prime Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) is the single management system for Nexus and MDS product families, delivering simplified operations and programmability.

The MDS 9148S, with 16 Gbps dedicated bandwidth per port can scale from a default of 12 ports to 48 ports, with on-demand port activation licenses. The “Pay as you Grow” model makes MDS 9148S a flexible and scalable option for departmental or branch SMB SANs. Hot swappable redundant power supplies with integrated fans are offered for high availability. The MDS 9148S is also powered by the same NX-OS that power the entire Cisco DC product portfolio. Cisco MDS 9148S gives customers the enhanced benefits of high performance, pay-as-you-grow flexibility and simplified deployment and management. Versatile enterprise-class storage Switch for the Entry-Level and Departmental SANs

- #8: Map applications, business units, VM clusters to VSANs First of all, let’s quickly define “Integrated Networks.” For starters, it is a true system - combining multiple components in such a way to make the sum of its whole better than the sum of its parts. Here, Cisco combines high-function, proven software and high-performance, flexible hardware to meet the many service demands placed on the network. It is this combination of components -- software, routers, switches, mobility, security and unified communications -- that truly empowers the connected user, organization, and business. As a result, the integrated network provides comprehensive and consistent service delivery and protection across the entire network, simplified operations of the entire networked system, and ready adaptation and innovation within the network itself. Now, let’s take a look at how these systems drive business benefits within focused high-impact Cisco customer architectures and solutions. First, the architectures.
- #9: Automates Switch Setup Get IP address, Gateway, NTP server… Download image and configuration file Eliminates the need for serial cable to manually configure each switch Ensure configuration consistency Automates the process of upgrading software images and installing configuration files
- #10: End to end visibility Holistic path view from compute to Storage LUN Integrated with Vmware vSphere & Heterogeneous Storage Arrays Ease troubleshooting by mapping path dependencies and workloads across compute, fabric and storage Host path redundancy End to End Host to LUN Path redundancy check Pre-configurable redundancy policies Identify root cause and potential fix Reduce the risk of an outage due to failures and human error. Reduce time to upgrade SAN hardware and software Health index Combination switch, module and port health weighted score based on events severity Tunable health score Quickly access the health of switches and graph historic changes to the heath score
