Performance Validation Test: Cisco MDS 9509
Overview Miercom was contracted by Cisco Systems, Incorporated (Cisco) to test and observe their MDS 9509 storage area network (SAN) director-class Fiber Channel switch. The purpose was to test the overall characteristics and performance of the product. Testing was conducted at the Spirent Communications facilities in Calabasas, California during the week of December 16, 2002. The MDS 9509 showed excellent performance regardless of frame size. It achieved near line rate with small frames (98.67%) and full line rate with large frames, both with 100% intended load. Regardless of the load, the minimum latency for both frame sizes was very consistent.
