SANBOX 5600, 16X4GB, RJ-45/RS-232
Now the benefits of stackable IP switches are available for high performance 4Gb SANs. The SANbox 5600 series of stackable switches delivers the seamless scalability and performance of a chassis switch, in an easy-to-manage, pay-as-yougrow solution. With sixteen 4Gb ports plus a four-pack of high-speed 10Gb ISL ports, and entry as low as 8 ports with 4-port software-keyed increments and included graphical user interface (GUI) wizards, each SANbox 5600 stackable switch provides maximum flexibility for configuring, managing and scaling SANs. Available in two power supply configurations: single integrated (SB5600) and dual hot-swappable (SB5602).
BREAKTHROUGH EASE OF USE. The first Fibre Channel stackable switches to be configured and zoned with simple wizards. Plus, SANsurfer Management Suite™ makes stack management easy throughout your SAN lifecycle by helping you install, configure, monitor, diagnose and upgrade your QLogic HBAs and switches – all from ONE application!
INCREDIBLY LOW COST. Starting at 8 ports, SANbox 5600/5602 stackable switches offer an entry point affordable to the smallest business. And with an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI), you won’t have to hire a SAN expert to manage your stack. In addition, QLogic management software is always shipped free with every HBA and switch sold.
MODULAR SCALABILITY. Start with 8 ports and then grow your SAN in 4 port increments up to 64 ports in a single stack. A key benefit is the ability to add, change or delete switches without disrupting your storage network.
PERVASIVE INTEROPERABILITY. Interoperable with popular servers, storage and networking products from major manufacturers, including ADIC, Brocade, Cisco, Computer Associates, Dell, EMC, Emulex, HDS, HP, IBM, LSI, McDATA, Microsoft, Quantum, StorageTek, Sun, VERITAS, and many others.
BLAZING 10Gb PERFORMANCE. The first SAN product to support traffic between switches, servers and storage at up to 10Gb per second—six times faster than 2Gb networks being deployed today. A single, 10Gb inter-switch link (ISL) ensures low latency between switches and eliminates the cost and complexity of trunking up to six 2Gb
