Hitachi SANBOX 5602 SB5602Q-08A-02.P Leaflet

The Industry’s First

4Gb Fibre Channel

Stackable Switch

The first Fibre Channel stackable

switches to be configured and zoned with simple wizards.

Plus,

SANsurfer Management Suite™ makes stack management easy

throughout your SAN lifecycle by helping you install, configure, monitor,

diagnose and upgrade your QLogic HBAs and switches – all from ONE

application!

INCREDIBLY LOW COST.  Starting at 8 ports, SANbox 5600/5602 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. In addition, QLogic management

software is always shipped free with every HBA and switch sold.

MODULAR SCALABILITY.  Start with 8 ports and then grow your SAN in 4

port increments up to 64 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.

Now the benefits of stackable IP switches are available for high performance 4Gb

SANs. The SANbox 5600 series of stackable switches delivers the seamless scala-

bility and performance of a chassis switch, in an easy-to-manage, pay-as-you-

grow solution. With sixteen 4Gb 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 5600 stackable

switch provides maximum flexibility for configuring, managing and scaling SANs.

Available in two power supply configurations: single integrated (SB5600) and dual

hot-swappable (SB5602).
