Migrating from Enterprise Systems Connection to Fiber Connection: Increase Ease, Cost Effectiveness and Benefits
sponsored by Cisco Systems, Inc.

Enterprise IT groups have compelling reasons to migrate to the 4-Gbps IBM Fiber Connection (FICON) mainframe I/O protocol. Performance increases because 4-Gbps FICON supports faster control units such as direct access storage devices (DASDs) and virtual tape libraries (VTLs) and takes advantage of the 4-Gbps channel speeds of IBM System z.
This white paper discusses the benefits of migrating to 4-Gbps FICON, the advantages of the Cisco MDS 9500 Series Multilayer Director switch and how this switch enables migration from 1/2-Gbps FICON to 4 Gbps without business disruption.
Download this whitepaper and learn how migrating from ESCON to FICON for connecting mainframes to control units will:
Increase performance
Lower-cost connectivity to remote data centers
Increased subchannel addressability
Replacement of obsolete technology
