Start or expand your 10Gb ISL backbone today |

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 scalability of a modular chassis switch in an easy-to-manage, pay-as-you-grow solution.
- Entry as low as eight 4Gb device ports
- Single-switch expansion to sixteen 4Gb device ports, plus four 10Gb ISL ports (20 ports total)
- Multi-switch expansion to 96 device ports per stack
- Single- (SB5600Q) and dual-power supply (SB5602Q) options
|
| The most cost-effective way to build a SAN |
|
SANbox 5600Q lets you start small, then scale with your company's needs using 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!

Need more server or storage ports? Simply add another 5000 Series switch to the stack. There’s no need to move existing cables or disrupt devices – your ISL bandwidth expands automatically with each switch!
