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 

existing 

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 

5802V reduces both capital expense (CAPEX) and operating expense (OPEX) 

through all phases of technology roll-out.
