Scalable expansion with outstanding investment protection
The MDS 9706 is designed to make optimal use of valuable data center floor space. It is 9RU (rack units) tall (15.6 inches). This allows up to four MDS 9706 directors per standard 42 RU rack (7 feet). Its smaller footprint makes it an excellent candidate for deployment in smaller storage networks as well as in pod-based converged data center infrastructure solutions for the cloud.
Using Cisco MDS 9700 Series switching modules, the MDS 9706 supports up to 192 ports in a 6-slot modular chassis, with up to 768 ports in a single rack. You can configure ports as Fibre Channel (4/8/16-Gbps, 8/16/32-Gbps, 16/32/64-Gbps or 10-Gbps), FCoE (10/40-Gbps), or a mix of both Fibre Channel and FCoE. The MDS 9706 supports the same Fibre Channel, FCoE, and Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) SAN extension switching modules as the Cisco MDS 9710 and 9718 multilayer directors, providing a high degree of commonality between the three directors. Designed to grow with your storage environment, the MDS 9706 provides smooth migration, common sparing, and outstanding investment protection.
Enterprise-class availability
The MDS 9706 is designed from the beginning for high availability. In addition to meeting the basic requirements of nondisruptive software upgrades and redundancy of all critical hardware components, the MDS 9706 software architecture offers outstanding availability. The MDS 9706 is the first in the industry to provide redundancy on all major hardware components, including the supervisor and fabric modules as well as the power supplies. The Cisco MDS 9700 Series Supervisor-3 Module automatically restarts failed processes, making the MDS 9706 exceptionally robust. In the rare event that a supervisor module is reset, complete synchronization between the active and standby supervisor modules helps ensure stateful failover with no disruption of traffic.
