Cisco Upgrades SAN Switch Software.(MDS 9000 SAN-OS 1.3)(Brief Article)
Cisco says new enhancements in the operating system for its MDS 9000 family of Fibre Channel switches will enable customers to build more secure and scaleable SANs.
Cisco is making the new features available in MDS 9000 SAN-OS 1.3, the latest cut of the operating system.
Cisco executives say the MDS 9000 will be the first SAN switch to provide capacities such as inter-VSAN routing, quality of service, both Fibre Channel over IP Write Acceleration and Compression, and support for intermixing open systems protocols such as Fibre Channel, iSCSI and FCIP, and FICON with FICON Control Unit Port management on the same switch through VSANs
Inter-VSAN routing is supposed to let servers in different virtual SANs share common storage resources such as disk and tape that's located either locally or remotely, while maintaining the security, scalability and availability capabilities of the VSANs.
Its quality of service feature is designed so the MDS 9000 can prioritize storage traffic dynamically based on the data's specific requirements.
