Description
The Cisco DS-C9132T-8PMESK9 is a 32-port Gen 6 Fibre Channel switch designed for high-performance, scalable storage networking environments. Built with a compact 1RU form factor, it offers a balance of port density and energy efficiency, making it ideal for data centers with limited rack space. This model includes 8 active 32-Gbps Fibre Channel ports out of the box, with the ability to scale up to 32 ports using additional port licenses, allowing flexibility as network demands grow. Its advanced hardware architecture supports low latency and high throughput for mission-critical applications.
Equipped with dual redundant power supplies and hot-swappable fans, the DS-C9132T-8PMESK9 ensures high availability and ease of maintenance. It supports features like virtual SANs (VSANs), NPIV, and advanced zoning for secure and efficient traffic segmentation. The switch runs on Cisco NX-OS, providing robust management capabilities and integration with Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM). This used unit may show minor cosmetic wear but is tested for full functionality, making it a cost-effective choice for expanding Fibre Channel infrastructure.
