Mainframe Package
The Cisco MDS 9000 Mainframe package uses the FICON protocol and allows control unit port
management for in-band management from IBM S/390 and z/900 processors. FICON VSAN support is
provided to help ensure true hardware-based separation of FICON and open systems. Switch cascading,
fabric binding, and intermixing also are included in this package. Refer to the Cisco MDS 9000
Mainframe package fact sheet for more information.
Fabric Manager Server Package
The standard Cisco Fabric Manager and Device Manager applications bundled at no charge with the
Cisco MDS 9000 family provide basic configuration and troubleshooting capabilities. The Cisco MDS
9000 FMS package extends Cisco Fabric Manager by providing historical performance monitoring for
network traffic hotspot analysis, centralized management services, and advanced application integration
for greater management efficiency. Refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 FMS package fact sheet for more
information.
Storage Services Enabler Package
The Cisco MDS 9000 SSE package allows network-based storage applications and services to run on the
Cisco MDS 9000 family SSMs, Cisco MDS 9000 18/4-Port Multiservice Module (MSM-18/4), and
Cisco MDS 9222i. Intelligent fabric applications simplify complex IT storage environments and help
organizations gain control of capital and operating costs by providing consistent and automated storage
management. Refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 SSE package fact sheet for more information.
On-Demand Port Activation License
On-demand ports allow customers to benefit from Cisco NX-OS Software features while initially
purchasing only a small number of activated ports on 4-Gbps Cisco MDS 9100 Series Multilayer Fabric
Switches. As needed, customers can expand switch connectivity by licensing additional ports.
Storage Media Encryption Package
The Cisco MDS 9000 Storage Media Encryption package enables encryption of data at rest on
heterogeneous tape devices and virtual tape libraries as a transparent fabric service. Cisco SME is
completely integrated with Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches and the Cisco Fabric Manager application,
enabling highly available encryption services to be deployed without rewiring or reconfiguring SANs,
and allowing them to be managed easily without installing additional management software. Refer to the
Cisco MDS 9000 Storage Media Encryption package fact sheet for more information.
Data Mobility Manager Package
The Cisco MDS 9000 Data Mobility package enables data migration between heterogeneous disk arrays
without introducing a virtualization layer or rewiring or reconfiguring SANs. Cisco DMM allows
concurrent migration between multiple LUNs of unequal size. Rate-adjusted migration, data
