Description
The Cisco MDS 9132T 32-Gbps Fibre Channel Switch (DS-C9132T-24PISK9) is a high-performance, enterprise-class SAN switch designed for modern data center environments requiring low latency, high availability, and scalable storage connectivity. This bundled configuration delivers 24 active Fibre Channel ports pre-populated with 16G short-wave optics, making it ideal for immediate deployment in mission-critical storage networks.
Built on Cisco’s next-generation ASIC architecture, the MDS 9132T provides non-blocking, line-rate performance with support for 4/8/16/32-Gbps speeds, enabling seamless migration to higher bandwidths as infrastructure evolves. Integrated SAN analytics, streaming telemetry, and advanced diagnostics provide deep visibility into storage traffic and application performance.
This enterprise bundle includes redundant power supplies, enhanced cooling, and the Cisco MDS Enterprise License, delivering advanced security, traffic engineering, and fabric services. With port-side intake airflow, the switch is optimized for data centers with front-to-back cooling designs, making it a reliable and scalable foundation for enterprise and cloud SAN architectures.
