Product Description
The HPE T5413A license is associated with the Cisco MDS 9500 series Multi-Protocol Services (MPS) module, specifically enabling its Fibre Channel over TCP/IP (FCIP) capabilities. FCIP is a protocol that encapsulates Fibre Channel frames within IP packets, allowing SANs to be extended across geographically dispersed locations using standard IP networks. This is a critical technology for implementing robust disaster recovery, business continuity, and remote data replication strategies. This license pertains to the MPS 18/4 module, indicating support for a specific configuration of ports that can be utilized for FCIP tunneling. By enabling FCIP, organizations can connect disparate SANs, replicate data between data centers, or provide remote access to storage resources without the need for dedicated, expensive Fibre Channel links over long distances. It leverages existing IP infrastructure, offering a more cost-effective and flexible solution for SAN extension. The HPE T5413A license is essential for unlocking the full potential of the MDS 9500 MPS module for IP-based SAN connectivity. It empowers IT professionals to build resilient and scalable storage networks that can span across multiple sites, ensuring data availability and supporting critical business operations even in the event of a local disaster. This license is a key enabler for advanced SAN management and data mobility.
