Now the benefits of stackable IP switches are available for high-performance
4Gb Fibre Channel SANs. SANbox 5600Q Series stackable switches deliver
the performance and seamless scalability of a modular chassis switch in an
easy-to-manage, pay-as-you-grow solution.
Entry as low as eight 4Gb device ports
Single-switch expansion to sixteen 4Gb device ports – plus four 10Gb
stacking ports (20 ports total)
Multi-switch expansion to 96 device ports per stack
Single (SB5600Q) and dual-power supply (SB5602Q) options
The Most Cost-Effective Way to Build a SAN
SANbox 5600Q lets you start small, then scale with your company’s needs
using state-of-the-art 10Gb Fibre Channel “stacking” technology typically
found only in high-end director products. As proven in the Ethernet world,
stackable architectures cut costs and increase stability by providing a
dedicated, highly-expandable transport for aggregate ISL traffic – eliminating
the disruption, port waste, and management hassles associated with using
regular device ports for inter-switch links. It’s like having the performance
and hands-off convenience of an expensive chassis switch – without the
cost overhead of a chassis!.
Need more server or storage ports? Simply add another 5000 Series
switch to the stack. There’s no need to move existing cables or
disrupt devices – your ISL bandwidth expands automatically with
each switch!
