The Cisco MDS 9148 Multilayer Fabric Switch is a high-performance, flexible, and cost-effective platform providing high-density, line-rate 8-Gbps ports for storage networking deployments in small, medium-sized, and large enterprise environments. Based on a purpose-built 'switch-on-a-chip' application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), it offers outstanding value by providing high-availability, security, and ease of use in a compact one-rack-unit (1RU) form factor. The switch can scale from 16 to 48 ports in 8-port increments, delivering a nonblocking architecture with all ports operating at line rate concurrently. It supports advanced features such as Virtual SANs (VSANs), Inter-VSAN Routing (IVR), and Quality of Service (QoS).
