Full backwards-compatibility with existing 4Gb and 2Gb infrastructure •• Expandable to twenty 8Gb device ports per switch •• (24 ports total) – or 120 device ports per multi-switch stack. Choice of cost-optimized single power supply (SB5800V) or high •• availability dual power supply (SB5802V) models Migrate to 8Gb at Your Own Pace 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’s 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 providing the lowest cost of entry. SANbox 5800V reduces both capital expense (CAPEX) and operating expense (OPEX) through all phases of technology roll‑out.
