Cisco Fabric Manager is a responsive, easy-to-use, Web-based application that simplifies the management of Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches in storage area networks (SANS) through an integrated approach to switch and fabric administration. Cisco Fabric Manager offers storage administrators fabric-wide management capabilities, including discovery, multiple switch configuration, continuous network monitoring, and troubleshooting. This powerful approach greatly reduces switch setup times, increases overall fabric reliability, and provides robust diagnostics for resolving network problems and configuration inconsistencies. With Cisco Fabric Manager's intuitive graphical interface, storage administrators can compare switch configurations side by side, perform configuration policy checks across Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches, set alarm thresholds for reporting into third-party fault management applications, view individual device and aggregate statistics in real time, and analyze historical performance statistics. All these capabilities are available through a secure interface that enables remote management from almost any location. The Cisco Fabric Manager Server (FMS) Package extends Cisco Fabric Manager by providing historical performance data collection for network traffic hot-spot analysis, centralized management services and advanced application integration.
