Overview:

QLogic SANbox2 switches enable the highest-performance switched storage networking at affordable prices while protecting investments in 1Gb equipment. With SANbox2 switches, businesses can easily build powerful storage networks that are fully interoperable with any servers, networking equipment and storage subsystems. Certified to work with every major storage management application, SANbox2 switches are fabric-ready out of the box.

Based on the fifth-generation SANbox switch architecture, SANbox2 switches are the industry's fastest Fibre Channel switches that support 1Gb and 2Gb network performance. SANbox2 switches are ideal for new networks or entry-level, hub-based SANs seeking to substantially boost performance. With 8 or 16 ports for scalability, all SANbox2 switches are interoperable with any FC-SW-2 compliant switch. The SANbox2-16 adds dual redundant, hot-swap power supplies and fans for high availability requirements.

Investment Protection:

Compatible with legacy 1Gb hubs and switches, SANbox2 switches can accommodate both 1Gb and 2Gb performance, helping businesses smoothly transition to higher network speeds without abandoning previous investments.

Leading Single Chip Integration:

SANbox2 switches have uniquely integrated 16 Fibre Channel ports into a single, efficient chip. Single chip integration results in fewer components, lower power consumption, reduced heat dissipation, a smaller form factor, increased reliability resulting in higher data availability, and higher performance.

Simplified Managment :

Manage all aspects of a SAN fabric using the free QLogic SANsurfer Management Suite , a powerful management application, or integrate SANbox2 with QLogic SNMP-based MIBs or Telnet.

Customized Service and Support:

The QLogic SANtrack™ service and support program offers flexible service packages designed to meet each customer's unique business requirements ranging from preinstall analysis, installation and on-site service to spare upgrades.
