Overview Since the inception of the Cisco MDS 9000 family of Storage Area Network (SAN) switching products, Cisco has been at the forefront of intelligent fabric applications innovation and has successfully transformed its vision of embedded SAN integrated fabric services into a reality. In particular, Cisco has delivered innovative, market-leading SAN embedded intelligent fabric applications such as SANTap-based Continuous Data Protection (CDP) and Continuous Remote Replication (CRR), Fibre Channel Write Acceleration (FC-WA) for synchronous replication, and EMC Invista for the Cisco MDS 9000 family (a virtualization-based storage management solution), which have gained significant traction at various customer locations, signaling the beginning of a new era of the SAN integrated intelligent fabric applications storage marketplace.
