This powerful combination helpsorganizations build highly available, scalable storage networkswith comprehensive security features and unified management.Enterprise-class availabilityThe MDS 9500 Series Multilayer Directors were designed forhigh availability. Beyond meeting the basic requirements ofnondisruptive software upgrades and redundancy of all criticalhardware components, the MDS 9500 Series Multilayer4
IBM Systems and TechnologyData SheetIBM System StorageRecognizing the need to support this convergence in management, Cisco is merging two management solutions—CiscoFabric Manager and Cisco Data Center Network Manager.This unified product, Cisco Data Center Network Manager(DCNM), is an easy-to-use application that simplifies management across multiple switches and converged fabrics.Directors’ software architectures offer an enterprise level ofavailability. The MDS 9500 Series Supervisor Modules automatically restart failed processes, making the MDS 9500 SeriesMultilayer Directors even more robust. In the rare event that asupervisor module is reset, complete synchronization betweenthe active and standby supervisor modules helps ensure statefulfailover with no disruption to traffic.Focused on supporting efficient operations and managementof virtual machine-aware fabrics, DCNM is designed to providea robust framework and comprehensive feature set that meetsthe routing, switching and storage administration needs of present and future virtualized data centers. It also delivers timelymanagement support for data center hardware platforms andCisco NX-OS innovations (requires Cisco MDS NX-OS 5.2,or later).High availability is implemented at the fabric level using robustand high-performance ISL. PortChannel capability allowsusers to aggregate up to 16 physical links into one logicalbundle. The bundle can consist of any speed-matched portsin the chassis, helping ensure that the bundle can remain activein the event of a port, application-specific integrated circuit(ASIC), or module failure. The MDS 9500 Series MultilayerDirectors take high availability to a new level, helping ensurethat solutions exceed the 99.999 percent uptime requirementsof today’s most demanding environments.Cisco Storage Media EncryptionCisco Storage Media Encryption (SME) is a fabric-basedservice developed to protect data at rest on heterogeneousenvironments. SME enables data on disk arrays, on tapes andin virtual tape libraries (VTLs) in a SAN environment to becompressed, encrypted and authenticated for centralized security management, and data management and recovery, usinghighly secure IEEE Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)algorithms. This can help companies to address Payment CardIndustry (PCI) Data Security Standards (DSS) 2.0 complianceEase of managementModern data centers are becoming increasingly complex.Proliferation of new technologies such as virtualization isadding yet another level of complexity while enabling higherworkloads to be placed on the network. IT departments todayare challenged to look beyond traditional silos of networkingand storage to manage this converged, virtualized data center.Meeting this challenge requires unifying the managementplane to help enable holistic management of the data centerinfrastructure.5
IBM Systems and TechnologyData SheetIBM System Storageimproved port densities of up to 528 8 Gbps or 264 10 GbpsFibre Channel ports per chassis, multihop FCoE, high per-slotperformance, unparalleled functionality with intelligent fabricservices, VSANs for consolidating individual physical SANislands while maintaining logical delineations, and IVR forsharing resources across VSANs. These capabilities can helpconsolidate an organization’s data assets into fewer, largerand more manageable SANs, thus reducing the hardwarefootprint and associated capital and operational expenses.For unified fabric deployments that have converged LANand SAN using Lossless Ethernet, Cisco MDS 9513 providesmultihop FCoE capability to protect your investment in existing storage infrastructure with any-to-any connectivity acrossmultiple protocols.or other legislative regulations such as the Health InsurancePortability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which requirecompanies to store and protect data at rest for a specifiednumber of years while publicly disclosing security breaches.SME hardware and software are fully integrated with theMDS 9000 Family. Encryption is performed as a transparentFibre Channel fabric service, which greatly simplifies thedeployment and management of sensitive data on SANattached storage devices. SME employs clustering technologyto enhance reliability and availability, enable automated loadbalancing and failover capabilities, and simplify provisioning asa single, logical SAN fabric feature rather than as individualswitches or modules. Secure lifecycle key management isincluded, with essential features such as key archival, shredding,automatic key replication across data centers, high-availabilitydeployments, and export and import for single- and multiplesite environments. Provisioning and key management for SMEare both integrated into DCNM; no additional software isrequired for management.Why IBM?IBM is committed to helping you achieve measurable businessvalue with the right combination of storage products to meetyour needs.
