Cisco opens up distribution for Fabric Switches
Fueled by SAN (Storage Area Network) proliferation, the market demand for fabric switches is growing rapidly - currently a market of around $200M (USD) in APAC.

All Cisco partners now have a new opportunity because Cisco has opened up distribution of its MDS 9124 and MDS 9134 fabric switches to all authorised Cisco distributors and partners in APAC. 

About MDS 9124 and MDS 9134
Part of Cisco's data centre portfolio, these switches are targeted at commercial customers and enterprise customers who want to build high performance core-edge storage networks.

The MDS 9124 and MDS 9134 switches are simple, easy to use, highly affordable and have enterprise availability with industry leading security and flexibility.
