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 easy 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.

SAN-Enabled Software Solutions:

The SANblade 2200 Series is designed for maximum functionality in the SAN. Cutting-edge SAN utilities like QLogic Management Suite provide advanced capabilities for remote configuration and management, load-balancing and LUN-masking. Enhanced software drivers include support for SAN-critical features including concurrent SCSI/IP and FC-tape. Plus, QLogic's unique software architecture simplifies integration, with an easy host software migration path between parallel SCSI and Fibre Channel applications. The 2200 Series is far more than just hardware - it's a complete I/O solution.

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.

SAN 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 10 Gb Performance:

The first SAN product to support traffic between switches, servers and storage at 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 eliminates the cost and complexity of trunking up to six 2 Gb ports.
