Product Description
The HP AJ905BR is a crucial component for the Cisco MDS 9513 modular director switch, functioning as a CrossBar Switching Fabric module. In a high-end director-class switch like the MDS 9513, the switching fabric is the backbone that connects all the individual line cards (which house the I/O ports) and service modules. This module provides the high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnect necessary for seamless communication between these components, enabling the director to operate as a unified, high-performance switching system. The CrossBar architecture is designed to offer non-blocking performance, meaning that all ports can operate at their maximum line rate simultaneously without contention. This is essential for demanding Storage Area Network (SAN) environments where high-speed, reliable data transfer between servers and storage arrays is paramount. The AJ905BR module ensures that traffic can be switched efficiently between any two line cards installed in the chassis, regardless of their physical location. As a critical component of the MDS 9513, this switching fabric module is typically hot-swappable, allowing for maintenance or upgrades without powering down the entire director switch. This ensures maximum uptime and availability for the SAN infrastructure. The presence and proper functioning of the switching fabric are fundamental to the overall performance, scalability, and reliability of the Cisco MDS 9513 director.
