The benefits of stackable IP switches are now available for SANs. The SANbox® 5200 stackable switch delivers the seamless scalability and performance of a chassis switch in a simple-to-manage, pay-as-you-grow solution.
Start small, then expand as your needs grow.
- Entry as low as eight ports, then scale in four-port software-keyed increments
- Each chassis includes sixteen 2Gb ports, plus a four-pack of high-speed 10Gb ISL ports.
- Built-in graphical user interface (GUI) with installation/configuration wizards
Available in two power supply configurations: single integrated (SB5200) and dual hot-swappable (SB5202).
Breakthrough Ease of Use
The first Fibre Channel stackable switches to be configured and zoned with simple wizards. Stack management is simple throughout your SAN lifecycle as you install, configure, monitor, diagnose and upgrade your QLogic HBAs and switches.
Incredibly Low Cost
Starting at eight ports, SANbox 5600 stackable switches offer an entry point affordable to the smallest business. Managing your stack is so simple, you won't have to hire a SAN expert.
Modular Scalability
Of course you can 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, Apple, Brocade, Cisco, Computer Associates, Dell, EMC, Emulex, HDS, HP, IBM, LSI, McData Microsoft, Quantum, StorageTek, Sun, VERITAS and many others.
Blazing 10 Gb 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 2 Gb ports. |
