The SANbox 5802V - Eight 8Gb device ports (expandable to 20), plus four "always on" 10Gb stacking ports (upgradeable to 20Gb)
Next-Generation SANs for Today’s Infrastructure
The newest addition to QLogic’s award-winning SANbox® 5000 Series unleashes powerful data access possibilities for small to large enterprise customers. SANbox 5802V stackable switches offer SAN planners the best choice to cost-effectively handle current needs while preparing for known and unknown competitive business requirements tomorrow.
o Affordable entry as low as eight 8Gb device ports – plus four “always on” 10Gb stacking ports included
o 20Gb Inter-switch Link (ISL) bandwidth on demand – upgrade your stacking ports to the World’s Fastest Fibre Channel!
o Full backwards-compatibility with existing infrastructure
o Expandable to twenty 8Gb device ports per switch • (24 ports total) – or 120 device ports per multi-switch stack.
Migrate to 8Gb at Your Own Pace
Thanks to widespread corporate plans for server virtualization/consolidation, along with the rapid adoption of multi-core processors, many SAN users are already feeling the need for 8Gb network speeds. At a minimum, savvy IT managers know they must take the 8Gb transition into account when making their next equipment purchases.
However, these same customers—and others who are not yet ready for 8Gb – also demand a solution that can be installed alongside existing infrastructure without requiring large “up front” payments for capabilities
that may be needed later.
QLogic’s field-proven modular backbone architecture, a key component of the QLogic SAN lifecycle management framework, offers a powerful answer to this dual request, allowing customers to build SANs that will last far into the future – while simultaneously lowering both capital expense (CAPEX) and operating expense (OPEX) through all phases of technology roll-out.
