Dell EMC Connectrix MDS-9132T Fibre Channel Switch
The Dell EMC Connectrix next generation MDS 9000T Switch series support up to 32Gigabit per second (Gb/s) Fibre Channel performance which accommodates mission-critical applications and today's all flash storage systems. All MDS-9000T switch models allow seamless transition to Fibre Channel Non-Volatile Memory Express (FC-NVMe) workloads without any hardware upgrade in the SAN. All Connectrix MDS 9000T switches offer state-of-the-art analytics and telemetry capability built into its next-generation Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) platform.
Connectrix MDS 32Gb/s Fibre Channel Switch Models
MDS-9132T This 32-port switch provides high speed Fibre Channel connectivity from the server rack to the SAN core. Small-scale SAN architectures can be built from the foundation using this low-cost, low-power, non-blocking, line-rate, and low-latency, bi-directional airflow capable, fixed standalone SAN switch connecting both storage and host ports. Medium-size to large-scale SAN architectures built with SAN core directors can expand 32-Gbps connectivity to the server rack using these switches either in switch mode or Network Port Virtualization (NPV) mode. For ultimate flexibility, the MDS-9132T scales from 8- to 32- ports.
