Product Overview
The Cisco MDS 9100 Series Multilayer Fabric Switches provide an intelligent, cost-effective, and
small-profile switching platform for small- and medium-sized storage environments. The
Cisco
MDS
9100 Series also provides full-feature capability with the Cisco MDS 9500 Series multilayer
directors for a transparent, end-to-end service delivery in large data-center core-edge deployments.
The Cisco MDS 9100 Series includes four fixed configuration fabric switches:
The Cisco MDS 9134 Multilayer Fabric Switch is a 32-port 1-, 2-, and 4-Gbps autosensing Fibre
Channel and 2-port 10-Gbps switch.
The Cisco MDS 9124 Multilayer Fabric Switch is a 24-port, 1-, 2-, and 4-Gbps autosensing Fibre
Channel port switch.
