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.

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!

•
Hot-swappable dual power supply option
•

•
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!

Series products provide superior performance at a price-per-port
competitive with single-speed, non-stacking edge switches.
Reduced expansion costs – With no device ports wasted for
•
ISLs, multi-switch SANbox 5600Q networks require up to 50%
fewer switches. As growth occurs, cables and transceivers for
SANbox 5600Q 10Gb ports actually cost
ISLs on a per-bandwidth basis.
Longer product and topology lifespan – Other vendors force

customers to take a non-linear “rip and replace” approach to
SAN growth, offering a limited solution at the low end, followed
by a radically different (and much more expensive) architecture
as the installation matures. QLogic’s modular ISL backbone
helps customers pace investments and deployment activities
predictably over time, with fewer wrong turns and reversals
– even when corporate strategies and directions change. The

Fast, Reliable 4 Gbps/10 Gbps Performance
QLogic SANbox 5600Q products provide uncontested full-duplex
bandwidth at every port. That’s 136 Gbps for device ports, plus
102 Gbps on the ISL ports – a total of 238Gb of bandwidth per switch!
Plus, thanks to the QLogic 10Gb backbone, ISL bandwidth expands
automatically as network capacity grows, ensuring a consistent user
experience over time.

schemes. Built-in QLogic-exclusive trunking feature optimizes
ISL utilization and performance by pooling the capacity of
multiple 10Gb or 4Gb links in a single high-bandwidth pipeline.
Trunks are automatically invoked as needed, eliminating the need
for manual configuration. Unlike other trunking implementations,
trunked ports do not need to be sequential, and may even be
spread across multiple switches. The industry-standard switchon-exchange method supports Intelligent Path Selection, Fabric
Shortest Path First, and Virtual Trunking.
A variety of reliability features make the SANbox 5600Q capable of
delivering overall system availability greater than 99.999%.
I/O StreamGuard for RSCN suppression – Guaranteed
