Dedicated bandwidth and maximum port density
Organizations seeking a standalone departmental SAN switch or an edge switch in enterprise core-edge SANs.
The Cisco MDS 9124 offers up to 24 auto sensing Fibre Channel ports capable of speeds of 4, 2, and 1 Gbps in a compact 1RU form-factor chassis with 4 Gbps of dedicated bandwidth for each port and an aggregate platform bandwidth of 192 Gbps. The Cisco MDS 9124 is great as a standalone departmental SAN switch and as an edge switch in enterprise core-edge SANs. The 1RU compact design is ideal for space-constrained environments where maximum port density per rack is imperative.
The Cisco MDS 9124 24-Port Multilayer Fabric Switch features 24 ports that are capable of speeds of 4, 2, and 1 Gbps. It also offers outstanding value by providing a flexible, highly available, and secure solution that is both affordable and easy to use, all in a compact one rack-unit (1-RU) form factor. The Cisco MDS 9124 supports the same industry-leading MDS 9000 storage area network (SAN) OS software that is supported on the entire Cisco MDS 9000 family of products.
The Cisco MDS 9124 can be deployed with minimal configuration and does not require any special training to operate. The Quick Configuration Wizard simplifies and accelerates the initial fabric activation. The Cisco MDS 9124 offers flexible, on-demand port activation; through software licensing, ports can be activated in 8-port increments. The default base switch has eight active ports.
