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
multi-switch
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%.
I/O StreamGuard™ RSCN suppression
•
– guaranteed bandwidth
for time-sensitive applications such as video streaming.
Hardware-enforced zoning by Worldwide Name
•
Hot-swappable dual power supply options
•
Non-Disruptive Code Load and Activation (NDCLA)
•
Powerful, Intuitive Software
QLogic implements the same code base for the entire SANbox
product line, including the popular SANbox 9000 chassis switch. Not
only are SANbox products backward and forward-compatible, you’ll
only need to learn one set of management tools.
QuickTools
•
– Embedded Java
®
web applet for device discovery,
device management, zoning, and fabric management. QuickTools
includes a configuration wizard and QLogic Drag-and-Drop
zoning, the industry’s most intuitive zoning method.
Fabric Security
•
(now included)
– Provides the right mix of
advanced protection features for user, connection, and device
security. This includes support for RADIUS authentication, Secure
Shell (SSH), and Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption. Device
connection security uses Fibre Channel Security Protocol (FC-SP),
DH-CHAP, and FC-GS-4 CT.
Enterprise Fabric Suite (optional CD software)
•
– Reduce
software costs while managing the SAN
your way with
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
package. You’ll spend less time and money licensing individual
features or worrying about “balloon payment” per-switch fees as
your SAN grows.
SANdoctor
•
(optional)
– Comprehensive set of diagnostic tools
for trouble-shooting problems in your fabric. SANdoctor includes
media digital diagnostics, fabric trace-route, and fabric ping.
Interoperability
Fully compatible with other SANbox switches
•
– mix and
match in stacks with all 5000 Series products (2Gb, 4Gb or 8Gb).
The SANbox 5800V is also compatible with FC-SW-2-compliant
switches from other vendors.
Interoperable with all major storage, server, application
•
and infrastructure vendors.
SNMP support, available API and
SMI-S agent for integration into popular third-party management
applications.
Virtualization Support
N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) support
•
comes standard
across the entire QLogic switch portfolio, allowing full integration
and interoperability with applications such as VMware
®
, and
hardware including leading transparent blade solutions from
IBM
®
, HP
®
, and others. Only QLogic delivers end-to-end NPIV
support on Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) and switches.
Investment Protection
SANbox 58000V provides low TCO, extended product life-span,
and a phased “pay-as-you-grow” approach that will enhance any
company’s long-term financial strategy. Make business-critical
applications and personnel more productive with a next-generation
QLogic SAN, the best choice for today’s infrastructure – and
tomorrow’s.
