Data Storage Systems, Inc. offers the full line of QLogic fibre channel solutions inlcuding the QLogic SANbox 5802 Stackable Fibre Channel Switch. Along with all the QLogic fibre channel products, DSS, Inc. offers implementation/integration services if needed. For further information and assistance, please call our sales department at (800) 519-4737. Thanks to widespread corporate plans for server virtualization/consolidation, along with the rapid adoption of multi-core processors, many SAN users are already feeling the need for 8Gb network speeds. At a minimum, savvy IT managers know they must take the 8Gb transition into account when making their next equipment purchases. However, these same customers.and others who are not yet ready for 8Gb . also demand a solution that can be installed alongside existing infrastructure without requiring large up front payments for capabilities that may be needed later. |

QLogic 5802V Fibre Channel Switch Highlights: |
QLogic SANbox 5802V full fabric switch with (8) 8Gb ports enabled, plus (4) 10Gb stacking ports enabled, (2) power supplies. SB-5802V-08A |
QLogic field-proven modular backbone architecture, a key component of the QLogic SAN lifecycle management framework, offers a powerful answer to this dual request, allowing customers to build SANs that will last far into the future . while simultaneously lowering both capital expense (CAPEX) and operating expense (OPEX) through all phases of technology roll.out. SANbox 5802V lets you connect 8Gb, 4Gb or 2Gb devices to a SAN for about the same cost as competing 4Gb-only solutions – but the investment protection advantages go much deeper than that! Unlike other solutions, the 5802V offers the ability to phase bandwidth provisioning incrementally within your ISL fabric, the most performance-critical area of the SAN. 1. Start with “Always On” 10Gb ISLs Each SANbox 5802V ships with all four 10Gb stacking ports active by default. This unique cost-saving feature means basic interswitch connectivity is now included with the product! Customers no longer need to take ISL port costs into account when planning and purchasing their SANs – every port they purchase may now be connected directly to a server or storage device! (See sidebar for more on stacking.) 10Gb ISL speed provides more than enough bandwidth for customers in the early stages of their 8Gb migration, when the majority of switch ports will still be attached to 4Gb storage and other legacy devices. 2. 20Gb Bandwidth On-Demand When enough device ports are connected to 8Gb devices to require additional bandwidth, customers may non-disruptively upgrade the ISL ports on one or more switches to 20Gb – the World’s Fastest Fibre Channel. 20Gb, the only ISL technology that perfectly complements 8Gb device speeds, extends the stability, cost-savings, and performance benefits of a true backbone architecture to nextgeneration SANs. IT managers now have all the network headroom they need to deploy new applications and technologies with confidence. Since 20Gb uses the same cables/connectors as 10Gb, customers can upgrade their entire SAN at the click of a mouse – without unplugging a single cable or purchasing any new hardware. Easy to Install and Manage •• Installation and configuration wizards – From basic switch setup to advanced zoning and extended distance configuration, the SANbox 5802V has automated routines to make deployment a snap. Installation is a 3-step point-and-click process. Selfconfiguring switch ports automatically adjust to 8Gb, 4Gb, or 2Gb device speeds. •• On-board Graphical User Interface (GUI) – There is no software to load. Just point a web browser at any switch and manage the entire fabric from that location. No matter what your level of expertise, the web-based QuickTools interface has everything you need for basic fabric management. and fpradvanced administration of larger SANs, the optional Enterprise Fabric Suite application provides an unprecedented level of intuitive granular control. •• Stack management – With Enterprise Fabric Suite, users can manage stacks of 5000 series products as a single device, loading firmware, applying security configuration changes, or handling user and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) administration for up to six switches simultaneously. |
8Gb / “8Gb-ready” performance at affordable prices: Backwards compatible with 4Gb and 2Gb devices and optics – deploy as an 8Gb or a 4Gb switch. “Always on” 10Gb stacking ports: Why waste device ports and expensive SFPs creating ISL trunks? High-speed switch-to-switch connectivity is included with the 5802V! 20Gb ISL bandwidth option: World’s Fastest Fibre Channel helps you prepare for the future without paying more today. Same cables/connectors as 10Gb! Higher port density: Four more ports per switch: 24 ports total. (20 device ports, plus four ultra-high-speed stacking ports) Preferred Service: included 24 x 7 call support, plus next-business-day hardware exchange Virtual fabric-ready: Dynamically provision SAN resources for greater scalability, security, reliability, and cost-savings. (All QLogic 8Gb products support the coming vFabric™ software release.) |
