QLOGIC SANBOX 5600


Now the benefits of stackable IP switches are available for high performance 4 Gb SANs. The SANbox 5600 stackable switch delivers the seamless scalability and performance of a chassis switch, in a simple-to-manage, pay-as-you-grow solution. With sixteen 4 Gb ports plus a four-pack of high-speed 10 Gb 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.

Key Benefits:

  • Start with 8 auto-detecting Fibre Channel 4 Gb/2 Gb/1 Gb ports and then grow your SAN in 4-port increments up to 64 ports in a single stack.
  • Provides the ability to add, change or delete switches without disrupting your storage network.
  • The first SAN product to support traffic between switches, servers and storage at up to 10 Gb per second-six times faster than 2 Gb networks being deployed today.
  • A single, 10 Gb inter-switch link (ISL) ensures low latency between switches and eliminates the cost and complexity of trunking up to six 2 Gb ports.
  • The SANbox 5600 FC stackable switch is configured and zoned with simple wizards.
