Data Storage Systems, Inc. offers the full line of QLogic fibre channel solutions including the
QLogic SANbox 5600Q 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 (763) 416-0474.
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 calability of a modular chassis switch in an easy-to-manage, pay-as-you-grow
solution.
Single power supply version. Available in 8, 12, 16 or 20-port
initial configurations. Includes integrated power supply with
standard IEC connector (100-240 V), one (1) US power cord
and one (1) pair of mounting ears. Also includes installed
firmware w/QuickTools management interface, release notes,
documentation and "Quick Start" guide.
The Most Cost-Effective Way to Build a SAN SANbox 5600Q lets you start small, then scale with your company’s needsusing 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!
More Ways to Grow Flexible port licensing on a single switch – SANbox 5600Q products are available in a range of port count configurations. As
requirements change, it’s easy to activate additional ports in four-port increments via the embedded QuickTools GUI or the
command line interface.
High-speed backbone for multiple switches – When you’re ready, simply turn on the plug-and-play stacking ports for the quickest,
most cost-effective way to set up a multi-switch SAN. Only QLogic offers industry-standard 10Gb Fibre Channel ISLs on both core
and edge switches – you’ll never need to unplug a device cable or disrupt a device, no matter how large your fabric grows.
Scalability “best practices” are built into the SANbox 5600Q architecture!
