Qlogic SANbox 5200/5202 stackable switch

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, managing and scaling SANs. Available in two power supply configurations: single integrated (SB5200) and dual hot-swappable (SB5202).

INCREDIBLY LOW COST. Starting at 8 ports, SANbox 5200/5202 stackable
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. QLogic software is always shipped free with every 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.
