We are very excited about our upcoming newest addition to the MDS 9700 Portfolio. The MDS 9718, industry’s highest port density director with 768 Line rate 16G Fiber Channel Ports will be available in Q1 of CY16.
The 9718 will be a 26 RU switch . Infact you can fit a 9710 and 9718 both in the same rack if you keep 9718 on the bottom and 9710 on the top. You get 768 Line rate 16G FC or 10G FCOE. With the introduction of the 40G FCOE Line Card at the same time as the 9718, you can also have 384 line rate 40G FCOE ports. In terms of features, we will have feature parity with the MDS 9710. The depth again is identical to the 9710. And it can be mounted in the standard 19 inch EIA rack. In terms of timeline, the 9718 will FCS in Q1 CY16. The 9718 will ship with 6 Fabrics and thus will be 32G ready, for full line rate 768 32G FC ports. It will need 12 Power Supplies. Has a total of 16 PS Bays.
It has the same industry leading availability features as our other MDS 9700 Directors : Redundant Supervisors, Redundant Power Supplies and Fabric Modules. We have full line rate performance , and investment protection since the 9718 uses the same NX-OS, Power Supplies, Line Cards, as the other MDS 9700 Directors.
The 9718 will also use the Supervisor 1E instead of the Supervisor 1. E stands for Enhanced. This new supervisor has 2X compute and 4X the memory of Sup1.
Main features, like slide 6 reformat
Mesh cant be compared. I think Mesh wont make sense for big businesses like this so is not a fair comparison.
This slide shows the 2 Key use cases of the MDS 9718. On the left is a port expansion case, where if you use MDS 9718, you can save on ISLs, and can get upto 104 more front panel ports compared to a 8 payload slot chassis, and ofcourse 50% reduction in the number of chassis.
On the right is heavy consolidation where you can consolidate 6 8 slot chassis into 3. Also addresses the slot compression on the MDS 9513, since as you know we EOLed the 9500 Series over a month back.
