QLogic

The Only Provider of End-to-End SAN Infrastructure.

A unified network platform for server connectivity, switched fabrics, network services and storage services. Avoid complex and costly integration projects and single-point Management. Higher performance, pervasive interoperability and simpler installation and management.

Solutions to the following issues:

• Accelerates key storage application operations (including mirroring, snapshot, and virtualization for LSI StoreAge SVM) directly within hardware
• Uses Split-path (also known as SPAID) processing that separates the data path from control path processing, which results in superior application performance
• Combines VMware server virtualisation with storage virtualisation maximising the benefits of virtualisation
• The industry's first 4Gb stackable switch with 99.999% availability
• Qlogic HBA's complete product offering for both PCI-X 2.0 & PCI Express 4Gb HBAs

Key Benefits:

• Increases SAN performance for mission critical applications
• Simple SAN management and cost effective
• The most complete SAN solution from HBA to the Core

SANbox 9000 Series Switches - Designed to the Core™ for Open Systems

Finally, there’s a new class of core switch that represents a sane alternative to quarter million dollar Director switches. The SANbox9000 series is Designed to the Core™ for cost sensitive, business-critical, open system environments that require an ultra-high density, blazing performance, 99.999% availability, intelligent switch platform for their data center core. SANbox 9000 series represents a number of industry firsts: a stackable chassis module for simple, cost-effective scalability, a 4U chassis module for smaller footprint, the simplicity and economies of Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs) and a comprehensive set of Director-class software management tools included as standard. Best of all, pricing starts at under $100K.

The highly scalable SANbox 9000 is a stackable chassis switch with a dedicated 800Gb/s HyperStack™ connection between as many as two chassis modules. The high port count SANbox 9000 supports up to 256 ports in a dual chassis configuration. The intelligent SANbox 9000 offers in one chassis module: 8 slots for any mix of 4Gb or 10Gb Fibre Channel I/O Blades, with an 8GB FC I/O blade coming in mid-CY2008. For high availability, the SANbox 9000 features redundant, hot-swap I/O, CPU, Power Supply and Fan blades. And for comprehensive fabric management, the SANbox 9000 includes a powerful and easy-to-use suite of software tools for setting-up, monitoring, tuning, troubleshooting and servicing an unlimited number of large fabrics.
