Cisco MDS 9700 Series Supervisor-1 Module - Control Processor - Refurbished - Plug-in Module - DS-X97-SF1-K9-RF

• Industry-leading scalability
  The Cisco MDS 9700 Series Supervisor-1 Module combines industry-leading scalability and performance, intelligent SAN services, nondisruptive software upgrades, stateful process restart and failover, and fully redundant operation for a new standard in director-class SAN switching. Supporting up to 384 Fiber Channel ports in a single chassis, 1152 Fiber Channel ports in a single rack, and 24 Tbps of front-panel Fiber Channel system bandwidth, the Cisco MDS 9700 Series Supervisor-1 Module is designed to meet the requirements of even the largest data center storage environments.
• Integrated performance
  The combination of the Cisco MDS 9700 Series Supervisor-1 module, Cisco MDS 9700 48-port 16-Gbps Fiber Channel Switching Module and the Fabric-1 crossbar switching modules enables up to 1.5 Tbps of Fiber Channel throughput between modules in each direction for each of the eight Cisco MDS 9710 Multilayer Director payload slots. This per-slot bandwidth is twice the bandwidth needed to support a 48-port 16-Gbps Fiber Channel module at full line rate. The Cisco MDS 9700 architecture, based on central arbitration and crossbar fabric, provides 16-Gbps line-rate, nonblocking, predictable performance across all traffic conditions for every port in the chassis.
• High availability
  The Cisco MDS 9700 Series Supervisor-1 Module and Cisco MDS 9700 Series Multilayer Directors were designed from the beginning for high availability. In addition to meeting the basic requirement of nondisruptive software upgrades, the Cisco MDS 9700 Series software architecture offers availability. The Cisco MDS 9700 Series Supervisor-1 Module has the unique ability to automatically restart failed processes, making it exceptionally robust. In the rare event that a supervisor module is reset, complete synchronization between the active and standby supervisor modules helps ensure stateful failover with no disruption of traffic.
• Lower total cost of ownership
  The Cisco MDS 9000 Family provides advanced management tools for overall low total cost of ownership (TCO). It supports Cisco virtual SAN (VSAN) technology for hardware-enforced, isolated environments within a single physical fabric for secure sharing of physical infrastructure, further decreasing TCO.
• Comprehensive security framework
  The Cisco MDS 9000 Family supports RADIUS and TACACS+, Fiber Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP), Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol, and Simple Network Management Protocol Version 3 (SNMPv3) implementing Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), VSANs, hardware-enforced zoning, access control lists (ACLs), and per-VSAN role-based access control (RBAC).
• Unified SAN management
  The Cisco MDS 9000 Family includes built-in storage network management, with all features available through a command-line interface (CLI) or Cisco Prime Data Center Network Manager (DCNM), a centralized management tool that simplifies management of multiple switches and fabrics. Integration with third-party storage management platforms allows transparent interaction with existing management tools.

The Cisco MDS 9700 Series Supervisor-1 Module delivers the latest advanced switching technology with proven Cisco NX-OS software to power a scalable and intelligent multilayer switching solutions for SANs.
Designed to integrate multiprotocol switching and routing, intelligent SAN services, and storage applications onto highly scalable SAN switching platforms, the Cisco MDS 9700 Series Supervisor-1 Module enables intelligent, resilient, scalable, and secure high-performance multilayer SAN switching solutions. The Cisco MDS 9000 Family lowers the total cost of ownership (TCO) for storage networking by combining robust and flexible hardware architecture, multiple layers of network and storage intelligence, and compatibility with all Cisco MDS 9000 Family switching modules.
This powerful combination helps organizations build highly available, scalable storage networks with comprehensive security and unified management.
