Introduction

The Cisco MDS 9000 Family of Multilayer Directors and Fabric Switches provides industry-leading
availability, scalability, security, and management, allowing you to deploy high performance
storage-area networks with lowest total cost of ownership. Layering a rich set of intelligent features onto
a high performance, protocol agnostic switch fabric, the Cisco MDS 9000 Family addresses the stringent
