1 Hardware Announcement October 25, 2005 New Cisco MDS 9020 Fabric Switch offers 4, 2 and 1 Gbps Fibre Channel switch connectivity Overview The Cisco MDS 9000 family, resold by IBM, introduces the Cisco MDS 9020 Fabric Switch, designed with 4, 2 and 1 Gbps Fibre Channel switch connectivity and intelligent network services. This can help improve the performance, and manageability required to consolidate geographically dispersed storage devices. Administrators can use the Cisco MDS 9020 switch to help address the needs for high performance and reliability in SAN applications ranging from small to midrange to large enterprise SAN environments. Functional compatibility within the Cisco MDS 9000 family helps to provide end-to-end service delivery in large data center core-edge deployments. The Cisco MDS 9020 Fabric Switch offers advanced storage networking capabilities allowing organizations of all sizes to enjoy the benefits of intelligent SANs. With twenty 4-Gbps Fibre Channel ports, the Cisco MDS 9020 is well suited for small to medium businesses that want to deploy cost-effective but scalable, high-performance SANs. The Cisco MDS 9020 is also well-suited for branch offices and departments in large enterprises. It can be used as the foundation of small standalone SANs or as an edge switch in larger core-edge SAN infrastructures. The Cisco MDS 9020 is designed to balance cost, performance, and basic enterprise-class features in a compact 1-RU form factor. Layering a requisite set of intelligent features onto a cost-effective, small-profile switching platform, the Cisco MDS 9020 meets the cost, performance, ease of management, and connectivity requirements of smalland medium-scale storage environments. The Cisco MDS 9020 is compatible with the Cisco MDS 9500 Series Multilayer Directors, and the Cisco MDS 9200 and MDS 9100 Series Multilayer Fabric Switches for transparent, end-to-end service delivery in large data-center core-edge deployments. Key prerequisites For a complete list of Cisco Switches and Directors for Fibre Channel connectivity support, refer to the end of the Description section. Planned availability date November 11, 2005 At a glance Cisco MDS 9020 Fabric Switch is designed to provide 4, 2 and 1 Gbps Fibre Channel switch connectivity. The Cisco MDS 9020 (IBM ) is a 20-port Fibre Channel switch, packaged in a 1-RU enclosure. 4 Gbps performance capability The Cisco MDS 9020 offers full non-blocking 4 Gbps Fibre Channel performance on 20-line rate ports, for an aggregate bandwidth of 160 Gbps full duplex. Auto negotiation enables connectivity to 2 Gbps and 1 Gbps hosts and storage devices. Scalability Compatibility with all Cisco MDS 9000 family switches is designed to provide scalability and consistent service delivery as your SAN grows. Simplified storage management The Cisco MDS 9020 includes built-in storage network management with all features available through a command line interface (CLI) or Cisco Fabric Manager, a centralized management tool that simplifies management of multiple switches and fabrics. For ordering, contact: Your IBM representative, an IBM Business Partner, or the Americas Call Centers at 800-IBM-CALL Reference: YE001 This announcement is provided for your information only.

2 Description The Cisco MDS 9020 Fabric Switch (IBM ) is a 20-port Fibre Channel switch packaged in a 1-RU enclosure, supporting front-to-back airflow. The Cisco MDS 9020 comes with four 4 Gbps short wave SFPs and supports up to a total of twenty 4 Gbps short wave SFPs. Each SFP is capable of auto-negotiation at 4, 2 or 1 Gbps. This supports current and future hosts and storage devices. The Cisco MDS 9020 features a nonblocking architecture with as many as twenty ports concurrently active at 4 Gbps full duplex to provide an aggregate bandwidth of 160 Gbps. The Cisco MDS 9020 is designed to work seamlessly with the rest of the Cisco MDS 9000 Family of Directors and Multilayer Fabric Switches, allowing multiple upgrade paths as smaller SANs scale and as multi-protocol functionality becomes necessary. The Cisco MDS 9020 supports investment protection and can be migrated to the edge of a SAN deployment when coupled with larger core switches like the Cisco MDS 9200 and 9500 Series to introduce more advanced features and multi-protocol technology. High availability The Cisco MDS 9020 is designed to provide high-availability switching for small- to medium-sized storage networks. The Cisco MDS 9020 supports non-disruptive firmware upgrades (hot code load activation) to help provide high availability throughout the fabric. It also offers Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF) traffic rerouting for redundant path failover and extensive diagnostics for quick troubleshooting. Greater levels of availability can be supported with the Cisco MDS 9020 at the edge in a core-edge deployment with multiple redundant network paths connected into a core of Cisco MDS 9500 Series Directors or MDS 9200 Series Multilayer Fabric Switches. Ease of management To meet the needs of all users, the Cisco MDS 9020 offers three principal modes of management: a CLI consistent with the Cisco MDS 9000 family, the Cisco Fabric Manager, and integration with third-party storage management tools. The Cisco MDS 9020 is designed to present a consistent, logical CLI. Adhering to the syntax of the widely known Cisco IOS Software CLI, the Cisco MDS 9020 CLI is easy to learn and delivers broad management capability. The Cisco MDS 9020 CLI is intended to be an efficient and direct interface designed to provide optimal capability to administrators in enterprise environments. Cisco Fabric Manager is a Java application that can help simplify management across multiple switches and fabrics. Cisco Fabric Manager helps administrators to perform vital tasks such as topology discovery, fabric configuration and verification, provisioning, monitoring, and fault resolution. All functions are available through a secure interface, enabling remote management from any location. Cisco Fabric Manager may be used independently or in conjunction with third-party management applications. Cisco provides an extensive API for integration with third-party and user developed management tools. The standard Cisco Fabric Manager software, included at no charge with the Cisco MDS 9000 family multilayer switches, provides basic switch configuration and troubleshooting capabilities. The Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Server (FMS) package extends standard Cisco Fabric Manager with historical performance monitoring for network traffic hotspot analysis, centralized management services, and advanced application integration. Standard Cisco Fabric Manager features and functions are fully integrated with the Cisco FMS capabilities. Supported servers and storage systems Cisco Systems Multilayer Switches and Directors are designed to support: Servers IBM pseries and selected RS/6000 servers IBM iseries and selected AS/400 servers IBM xseries and selected Netfinity servers Other Intel -based servers with Linux, and Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 Selected Sun and HP servers Storage software IBM TotalStorage SAN Volume Controller (SVC) IBM TotalStorage SAN File System (SFS) Storage systems IBM TotalStorage DS8000 series IBM TotalStorage DS6000 series IBM TotalStorage DS4000 series IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Storage Server IBM TotalStorage FAStT Family of Storage Servers IBM TotalStorage 3580, 3588, 3590, and 3592 Tape Drives IBM TotalStorage 3494, 3582, 3583, and 3584 Tape Libraries IBM TotalStorage 3581 Tape Autoloader IBM TotalStorage 3584 High Availability Frame Model HA1 Other selected storage systems Achievable throughput (1, 2, or 4 Gbps) depends on the maximum speed supported by the attached system.
