QLOGIC SB5802V-08A8

The newest addition to QLogics award-winning SANbox 5000 Series unleashes powerful data access possibilities for small to large enterprise customers. SANbox 5800V stackable switches offer SAN planners the best choice to cost-effectively handle current needs while preparing for known and unknown competitive business requirements tomorrow.

Affordable entry as low as eight 8Gb device ports plus four always on 10Gb stacking ports included (12 ports total) 20Gb Inter-switch Link (ISL) bandwidth on demand as needs change, upgrade your stacking ports to the Worlds Fastest Fibre Channel!

Full backwards-compatibility with existing 4Gb and 2Gb infrastructure

Expandable to twenty 8Gb device ports per switch (24 ports total) or 120 device ports per multi-switch stack.

Choice of cost-optimized single power supply (SB5800V) or high availability dual power supply (SB5802V) models
