The Cisco® Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) devices for use on the Cisco MDS 9000 Family are industry-standard, hot-swappable input/output devices that plug into a port on any of the Cisco MDS 9000 multilayer directors and fabric switches. The SFPs allow enterprise companies and service providers to make multilayer storage-area networks (SANs) a reality by providing scalable and easy-to-deploy Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity within a data center and over long distances between multiple data center deployments.
Cisco SFPs for the Cisco MDS 9000 Family are available to work in conjunction with the Cisco MDS 9000 Fibre Channel switching modules, the Cisco MDS 9000 IP Storage Services Module, and any of the fixed ports on the MDS 9200 and 9100 platforms, enabling cost-effective multiprotocol connectivity within a SAN. Table 1 lists the various options for optics on the Cisco MDS 9000 platform.
