Cisco Systems has added numerous advanced storage networking capabilities to its MDS 9000 family of multilayer intelligent directors and fabric switches, with the release of its new SAN-OS software.
These software features are now available through the Cisco MDS 9000 SAN-OS 1.3, the latest version of the platform's operating system, delivering what Cisco says are several industry firsts for functionality integrated into SAN switches.
These include: routing capabilities through Inter-VSAN routing; QoS; the ability to offer both Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP)and Write Acceleration and Compression; and support for intermixing of open systems protocols (Fiber Channel, iSCSI, FCIP) and FICON (Fiber Connector) with FICON CUP (control unit port) management on the same switch through VSANs.
