SANbox2-64 Modular Fabric Switch
Bladed Architecture for Modular Scalability to 64 Ports
The SANbox2-64 modular fabric switch is a new class of switch that makes deploying and scaling your SAN much easier and more cost-effective. Its dense, bladed architecture allows you to easily scale from 16 ports to 64 ports in just 4U (7") of rack space. And the SANbox2-64 modular fabric switch offers redundancy and hot-swap capabilities typically found only in much more expensive Director switches.
