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!
