SANbox 9000 Series Stackable Chassis Switch
Designed to the Core for Open Systems
Data center managers in mainframe environments are responsible
for connecting large numbers of servers and storage systems. They
pay a premium for servers, storage, and Director switches that
support proprietary mainframe protocols.
Data center managers in open systems environments also want
high availability, high performance, and scalability. However, they
expect products built on open standards to be substantially more
cost effective: less complex, more flexible, and easier to use.
Reliable, fast, modular, and incredibly cost effective, the QLogic
SANbox line of Core-to-Edge fabric switch modules and intelligent
storage router modules are Designed to the Core for the open
enterprise.
