Migrate to 8Gb at Your Own Pace
Thanks to widespread corporate plans for server virtualization/consolidation,
along with the rapid adoption of multi-core processors, many SAN users are
already feeling the need for 8Gb network speeds. At a minimum, savvy
IT managers know they must take the 8Gb transition into account when
making their next equipment purchases.
However, these same customers—and others who are not yet ready for
8Gb – also demand a solution that can be installed alongside
infrastructure without requiring large “up front” payments for capabilities
that may be needed later.

QLogic’s field-proven modular backbone architecture, a key component of
the QLogic SAN lifecycle management framework, offers a powerful answer
to this dual request, allowing customers to build SANs that will last far into
the future while simultaneously providing the lowest cost of entry. SANbox
5800V reduces both capital expense (CAPEX) and operating expense (OPEX)
through all phases of technology roll-out.

Next-Generation Stacking: A Good Idea Gets Better!
SANbox 5800V lets you connect 8Gb, 4Gb or 2Gb devices to a SAN
for about the same cost as competing 4Gb-only solutions – but the
investment protection advantages go much deeper! Unlike other
solutions, the 5800V offers the ability to
incrementally within your ISL fabric, the most performance-critical
area of the SAN.
1. Start with “Always On” 10Gb ISLs
Each SANbox 5800V ships with all four 10Gb stacking ports active
by default. Basic inter-switch connectivity is now included with
the product! Customers no longer need to take ISL port costs into
account when planning their SANs – every port they purchase may
now be connected directly to a server or storage device!
for more on stacking.)
At their default 10Gb setting, the four stacking ports provide over
50Gb additional bandwidth per switch – the equivalent of six extra
8Gb ports!
10Gb ISL speed provides more than enough bandwidth for customers
in the early stages of their 8Gb migration, when many switch ports
will still be attached to 4Gb storage and other legacy devices.

What Is Stacking?
Stackable switches, long familiar to Ethernet users, were
introduced for Fibre Channel by QLogic in 2003. Stacking
complexity and costs
by providing a stable, highly-expandable
transport for aggregate ISL traffic – eliminating the disruption,
port waste and management hassles associated with using device
ports as ISLs.
True Backbone Value
In a stackable architecture, each switch features dedicated ports
for inter-switch links (ISLs) – that is, for connecting to other
switches. These ports run at a much higher bandwidth than the
regular data/device ports, and therefore require far fewer
connections to achieve specific bandwidth goals.
cuts
2. 20Gb Bandwidth On-Demand
When a majority of SANbox device ports are eventually connected
to actual 8Gb devices, additional inter-switch bandwidth may be
desired. At that point, customers may non-disruptively upgrade
the ISL ports on one or more switches to 20Gb – the
Fastest Fibre Channel
. 20Gb, the only ISL technology that perfectly
complements 8Gb device speeds, extends the stability, cost-savings,
and performance benefits of a true backbone architecture to nextgeneration SANs.
IT managers now have all the network headroom they need to deploy
new applications and technologies with confidence. Best of all, since
20Gb uses the same cables/connectors as 10Gb, customers can
upgrade their entire SAN at the click of a mouse –
a cable or purchasing any new hardware
. Only QLogic offers such a
cost-deferred “pay-as-you-grow” plan for the 8Gb transition.
Easy to Install and Manage
Installation and configuration wizards • – From basic switch
setup to advanced zoning and extended distance configuration,
the SANbox 5800V has automated routines to make deployment
a snap. Installation is a 3-step point-and-click process. Selfconfiguring switch ports automatically adjust to 8Gb, 4Gb, or 2Gb
device speeds.

without touching
Need more server or storage ports? Simply add another switch to the
stack – no need to move existing cables or disrupt devices.
Affordable Now – Big Savings Later
Low initial cost • – Out of the box, dual-speed SANbox 5000
products provide superior performance at a price-per-port
competitive with single-speed, non-stacking edge switches.
Reduced expansion costs • – Multi-switch SANbox networks
require
up to 50% fewer switches
to achieve the same device
port counts. And since each stacking port matches the
throughput of three device ports, SANbox ISL connections are
far less expensive per unit of bandwidth. For instance, a single
20Gb connection (25.5 Gbps actual line rate, 51 Gbps fullduplex) saves
the need for
six
8Gb device ports for devices – and eliminates
six
expensive 8Gb SFPs. Stacking has never made
more sense from a budget versus performance perspective!
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 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.

On-board Graphical User Interface (GUI) • – No software to
load. Just point a web browser at any switch and manage the
entire fabric from that location. No matter what your level of
expertise, the web-based QuickTools interface has all you need
for basic fabric management. And for advanced administration
of larger SANs, the optional Enterprise Fabric Suite application
provides an unprecedented level of intuitive granular control.
Stack management • – With Enterprise Fabric Suite, users can
manage stacks of 5000 series products as a single device,
loading firmware, applying security configuration changes, or
handling user and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
administration for up to six switches simultaneously.
Fast, Reliable Performance
Full bandwidth architecture • – The QLogic SANbox 5800V
provides uncontested, “wire speed” bandwidth at every port – a
total of 544 Gbps per switch! Plus, the dedicated 10Gb/20Gb
ISL transport makes it easy to create non-blocking
configurations. ISL capacity expands automatically as device port
count grows, ensuring a consistent user experience over time.
Adaptive Trunking • – No extra cost or complicated license
schemes. QLogic Adaptive Trunking optimizes ISL use and
performance by pooling the capacity of multiple 20Gb, 10Gb,
or 8Gb links into a single high-speed 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. Switch-on-exchange design
supports Intelligent Path Selection, Fabric-Shortest-Path-First,
and Virtual Trunking.
A variety of reliability features make the SANbox 5800V capable of
delivering overall system availability greater than 99.999%.

DH-CHAP, and FC-GS-4 CT.
Enterprise Fabric Suite (optional CD software) • – Reduce
software costs while managing the SAN
unprecedented levels of control. Enterprise Fabric Suite
bundles high-value enterprise features such as Fabric Tracker,
Performance View, Port Threshold Alarms, Stack Management,
and mPort™ movable port activation into a single site-licensed

features or worrying about “balloon payment” per-switch fees as
your SAN grows.

for trouble-shooting problems in your fabric. SANdoctor includes
media digital diagnostics, fabric trace-route, and fabric ping.
