SANbox 9000 Series Stackable Chassis Switch
Stackable Chassis Switch
For unprecedented scalability, the eight-slot SANbox 9000 chassis is uniquely modular in two dimensions. Like a Director switch, I/O Blades
can be added as needed. Unlike a Director, the SANbox 9000 chassis is itself a module. Using HyperStack technology pioneered by QLogic, a
second chassis can be inter-connected when needed and managed as a single switch.
For high availability, the SANbox 9000 features redundant, hot swap CRUs, including CPU, power supply, and fan blades. For ultra-high
availability, any SANbox 9200 dual-CPU module can optionally include the fault tolerant transparent CPU failover feature.
From the front of the SANbox 9000 chas-
sis module, up to eight customer service-
able I/O Blades can be added or replaced
non-disruptively without tools.
I/O Blades
Each modular SANbox 9000 chassis features eight slots for any mix of 4Gb, 8Gb, or 10Gb Fibre Channel I/O Blades.
The SANbox 9000 stackable chassis switch gives customers ultimate flexibility to deploy the bandwidth and connectivity configurations that make sense for their
environments..
Modular Blades at an Edge Switch Price
From the rear of the SANbox 9000 chas-
sis module, customer replaceable CPU,
power supply, and fan blades are hot-
swappable.
