스토리지 투자를 최소화하면서, 간편한 서버와 스토리지의 연결망으로 최상의 SAN 네트웍 구축을 제공합니다.

ㆍSingle Chassis : 기본 8Port에서 4Port씩 확장 가능(12, 16Ports)
ㆍSwitch Fabric Management Software 무상 지원 (SANsufer, Zoning, I/O Streamguard 등)
ㆍ8, 12 or 16 auto detecting 4Gb/2Gb /1Gb device ports

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 4Gb ports, plus a four-pack of high-speed 10Gb ISL ports.
• Built-in graphical user interface (GUI) with installation/configuration wizards.

Key Features

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 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.
