The Industry’s First
Fibre Channel
Stackable Switch
BREAKTHROUGH EASE OF USE.
The first Fibre Channel stackable
switches to be configured and zoned with simple wizards. Point-and-
click installation and configuration wizards get your QLogic HBAs and
switches up and running quickly.
INCREDIBLY LOW COST.
Starting at 8 ports, SANbox 5200/5202 stack-
able switches offer an 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.
MODULAR SCALABILITY.
Start with 8 ports and then grow your SAN in 4
port increments up to
96 ports in a single stack. A key benefit is the ability
to add, change or delete switches without disrupting your storage network.
PERVASIVE 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 10Gb 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 2Gb ports.

The benefits of stackable IP switches are now available for SANs. The SANbox
5200/5202 stackable switch delivers the seamless scalability and performance of a
chassis switch, in an easy-to-manage, pay-as-you-grow solution. With sixteen 2Gb
ports plus a four-pack of high-speed 10Gb ISL ports, and entry as low as 8 ports with
4-port software-keyed increments and included graphical user interface (GUI) wizards,
each SANbox 5200/5202 stackable switch provides maximum flexibility for configuring
and scaling SANs. Available in two power supply configurations: single integrated
(SB5200) and dual hot-swappable (SB5202).
