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.

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.
