OVERVIEW
QLogic's SANbox switches provide the essential foundation for
scalable high-performance Storage Area Networks (SANs). Linking
multiple hosts and storage resources, SANbox products create an
intelligent connectivity framework to help users share and efficiently
access stored data.
The SANbox-16HA includes all the features of QLogic's standard
16-port switch, plus optional dual redundant power supplies. Ideal
for any application requiring the ultimate in reliability and performance,
the SANbox-16HA may be deployed as a stand-alone unit, or as a core/edge
device in combination with other 8, 16, 64 and 128-port SANbox products.
Comprehensive SAN services, including those listed below, are
automatically distributed across multi-switch fabrics. Powerful
ease-of-use and management features, fifth-generation engineering
quality and a commitment to ANSI-standard interoperability make
QLogic's SANbox-16HA a value-packed component of today's best SANs.
