The Industry’s First
Fibre Channel
Stackable Switch
BREAKTHROUGH EASE OF USE. The first Fibre Channel stackable
switches to be configured and zoned with simple wizards. Plus,
SANsurfer Management Suite™ makes stack management easy
throughout your SAN lifecycle by helping you install, configure, monitor,
diagnose and upgrade your QLogic HBAs and switches – all from one
application.
INCREDIBLY LOW COST. Starting at 8 ports, SANbox 5200 stackable
switches offer an entry point affordable to the smallest business. And
with an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI), you won’t have to hire
a SAN expert to manage your stack.
MODULAR SCALABILITY. Grow by adding ports in 8, 12, and 16-port
increments up to 64 ports in a single stack. Of course you can add,
change or delete switches without disrupting your storage network.
PERVASIVE INTEROPERABILITY. Interoperable with popular servers,
storage and networking products from major manufacturers including
ADIC, Brocade, Cisco, Computer Associates, Dell, EMC, Emulex, HDS, HP,
IBM, LSI, McDATA, Microsoft, Quantum, StorageTek, Sun, VERITAS, and
many others.
BLAZING 10Gb PERFORMANCE. The first SAN product to support traf-
fic between switches, ser vers and storage a t up to 10Gb per second, six
times faster than 2Gb networks being deployed today. A single, 10Gb
inter-switch link (ISL) ensures low latency between switches and elimi-
nates the cost and complexity of trunking up to six 2Gb ports.

10 The benefits of stackable IP switches are now a vailable for SANs.The SANbox 5200
stackable switch delivers seamless scalability and performance of a chassis switch, in
an easy-to-manage, pay-as-you-grow solution.With sixteen 2Gb ports plus a four-pack
of high-speed 10Gb ISL ports, and entr y as lo w as 8 ports with 4-port software-keyed
increments, and included graphical user interface (GUI) wizards, each 5200 stackable
switch provides maximum flexibility for configuring, managing and scaling SANs.
