The Cisco MDS 9000 Series 32-Port Fibre Channel Advanced Services Module can aggregate a variety of storage devices into a storage pool to improve storage utilization, simplify storage management, and reduce total cost of ownership. The Advanced Services Module not only includes all the features of the Cisco MDS 9000 DS-X9032 Fibre Channel Switch Module, but also provides scalable in-band storage virtualization services. Cisco's Advanced Services Module combines a highly distributed processing architecture with integrated VERITAS Storage Foundation for Networks software to deliver the highest virtualization performance and scale to meet the needs of the largest enterprises with just the addition of modules to the network. Cisco's Advanced Services Module is offered in 32-port configurations and accepts the same 2/1Gbps Fibre Channel Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) optical modules as the MDS 9000 Series Fibre Channel Switch Modules.
The DS‑X9032‑SMV senior service module adds advanced storage virtualization, high‑availability and data‑protection features to Cisco MDS 9000 systems. It integrates with VERITAS Storage Foundation for Networks to enable seamless SAN management and data protection.
The module supports 2 Gbps and 1 Gbps SFP interfaces, iSCSI, FCIP and VSAN protocols, and includes security options such as RADIUS, SNMPv3 and SSH. It also provides RAID 0+1, RAID 1 and RAID 1+0 configurations and detailed GUI tools for administrators. This manual is written in Chinese.
