  • High performance
    MDS 9148V architecture, with centralized nonblocking arbitration, provides consistent 64-Gbps low-latency performance across all traffic conditions for every Fibre Channel port on the switch.
  • Fully integrated SAN analytics
    This feature-rich switch also offers state-of-the-art data traffic analytics and telemetry capabilities that have been built into this next-generation hardware platform. This state-of-the-art technology couples the next-generation port ASIC with a fully dedicated Network Processing Unit (NPU). Information is extracted by the port ASIC from passing line rate traffic and used by the NPU to calculate performance data on board the switch in real time. Using an industry-leading open telemetry format, the data can be streamed to any analytics visualization platform.
  • Cisco Dynamic Ingress Rate Limiting (DIRL)
    MDS 9148V supports the dynamic ingress rate limiting feature. Using DIRL, the MDS SAN can automatically detect any symptoms of congestion and then dynamically rate limits the congested and slow-drain devices so that adverse effects are not spread to other devices. DIRL dynamically adapts the rate-limiting to suit the traffic profile of the congestion or slow-drain device.
  • Capital Expenditures (CapEx) savings
    The 64-Gbps ports allow users to deploy them with existing 32- or 16-Gbps transceivers providing investment protection, with an option to upgrade to 64-Gbps transceivers and adapters whenever needed.
  • High availability
    MDS 9148V switches is designed to provide 99.999% availability. It provides such outstanding availability and reliability by providing redundancy on all major components, such as the power supply and cooling subsystems. Dual power supplies also facilitate redundant power grids. In addition, port-channel link members can be striped across two 24-port port groups, thus providing additional high availability.
  • Reliability powerful
    As part of the standard 64-Gbps Fibre Channel specification, Cisco provides FEC between switch ports and HBA ports on all 64-Gbps Fibre Channel fixed switches. This feature helps ensure any error introduced in flight gets corrected at the receive side of the link. In addition, Cisco extends Buffer-to-Buffer State Change Notification (BBSCN) and buffer-to-buffer credit recovery, which is supported on all Cisco switches between ISL ports, to the fabric ports attached to any end device. Over time, the corruption of receiver-ready messages, known as R RDY primitives, can lead to a loss of credits, which can eventually cause a link to stop transmitting in one direction. Buffer-to-buffer credit recovery provides for two attached ports to detect and correct this situation.
  • Next-generation ASIC
    The MDS 9148V Fibre Channel switch is powered by Cisco developed next- generation high-performance 64G ASICs.
  • Higher scalability
    Increased fabric scalability provides more flexibility for a variety of SAN architectures.
  • Intelligent services
    Auto-zone, Smart Zoning, slow-drain detection and isolation, Virtual SAN (VSAN) and Inter-VSAN Routing (IVR), and fabric-wide Quality of Service (QoS) enable migration from SAN islands to enterprise-wide storage networks. Traffic encryption is available to meet stringent security requirements.
  • Sophisticated diagnostics
    The MDS 9148V provides intelligent diagnostics tools such as ISL diagnostics, HBA diagnostics, remote SFP-error collection, Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN), integrated Cisco Call Home capability, Slow Drain Monitoring and an Online Health Management System for greater reliability, faster problem resolution, and reduced service costs.
  • Virtual-machine awareness
    The MDS 9148V provides visibility into all virtual machines that are accessing storage LUNs or namespaces in the fabric. This feature is available through HBAs capable of priority tagging the Virtual Machine Identifier (VMID) on every Fibre Channel frame. Virtual-machine awareness can be extended to intelligent fabric services such as analytics to visualize performance of every flow originating from each virtual machine in the fabric.
  • Programmable fabric
    The MDS 9148V provides Cisco NX-API, a powerful RPC-style HTTP/HTTPS API to enable flexible and rapid programming of utilities for the SAN. This can be coupled with specific modules for Ansible and Python.
  • Secure-boot and anti-counterfeiting technology
    The MDS 9148V uses onboard hardware that protects the entire system from malicious attacks by securing access to critical components such as the bootloader, system image loader, and Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) interface.

Cisco MDS 9148V 64-Gbps 48-Port Fibre Channel switch brings the high-performance, low-latency Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN) technology to market. Along with the higher bandwidth, the Cisco MDS 9148V switch supports ease of configuration and management, detailed and in-depth performance insights, and automation capabilities.
