Describe the various Cisco storage network devices
Cisco MDS family
Cisco® MDS 9500 and 9700 Series Multilayer Directors are director-class SAN switches designed for deployment in large, scalable enterprise clouds to enable business transformation. Layering a comprehensive set of intelligent features onto a high-performance, protocol- independent switch fabric, the Cisco MDS 9000 Family addresses the stringent requirements of large data center storage environments – uncompromising high availability, security, scalability, ease of management, and transparent integration of new technologies – for extremely flexible data center SAN solutions. Sharing the same operating system and management interface with other Cisco data center switches, the Cisco MDS 9000 Family enables easy deployment of unified fabrics with high-performance Fibre Channel and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) connectivity to achieve low total cost of ownership (TCO).
Cisco Nexus family
The Cisco Nexus family of switches is designed to meet the stringent requirements of the next-generation data center. Not simply bigger or faster, these switches offer the following characteristics:
Infrastructure that can be scaled cost-effectively and that helps you increase energy, budget, and resource efficiency
Transport that can navigate the transition to 10 Gigabit Ethernet and unified fabric and can also handle architectural changes such as virtualization, Web 2.0 applications, and cloud computing.
Operational continuity to meet your need for an environment where system availability is assumed and maintenance windows are rare if not totally extinct.

All these switches use NX-OS Software, an operating system designed specifically for the data center and engineered for high availability, scalability, and flexibility.
- Cisco Nexus 7000 Series – Modular switches with zero service loss architecture meet Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet needs and future unified fabric requirements.
- Cisco Nexus 5000 Series – Rack switches deliver high-performance, low-latency 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Data Center Ethernet (DCE), and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
- Cisco Nexus 1000v Switch – This software switch integrates directly with the server hypervisor to deliver VN-Link virtual machine-aware network services.
UCS Invicta (Whiptail)
Cisco UCS Invicta Series Solid State Systems harness the power of flash technology to accelerate data-intensive application workloads. By bringing dramatically faster I/O into the computing domain, the Cisco UCS Invicta Series allows businesses to transact, process, and analyze more data in less time. In addition to accelerating applications, Cisco UCS Invicta eliminates labor-intensive processes and simplifies the data center, allowing for maximum operational efficiency and sustained business advantage.
Cisco UCS Invicta Series products include:
- The Cisco UCS Invicta C3124SA Appliance for I/O acceleration in medium-scale environments
- The Cisco UCS Invicta Scaling System for organizations requiring enterprise-class scale, capacity, management, and performance.
