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
requirements of large data center storage environments: uncompromising high availability, security,
scalability, ease of management, and seamless integration of new technologies.

9500 Series, 9200 Series, and 9100 Series multilayer switches. The Cisco SAN-OS provides intelligent
networking features, such as multiprotocol and multitransport integration, virtual SANs (VSANs),
advanced security, sophisticated debug analysis tools, and unified SAN management.
