QLogic 5800V/5802V

Fibre Channel Stackable Switch

Overview

Rapidly increasing requirements for storage in mission-critical environments is driving virtualization across all aspects of infrastructure.

Data center managers face the fundamental task of integrating SAN environments over multi-vendor and multi-protocol infrastructures.

QLogic’s

award-winning 5000 Series Switches unleash powerful, flexible, and cost-effective stacking architecture for small to medium

enterprise customers.

• Affordable entry as low as eight 8Gb device ports—plus four “always on” 10Gb stacking ports included (12 ports total)

• 20Gb ISL bandwidth on demand—as needs change, upgrade your stacking ports

• 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

Data Sheet Next-Generation Stacking: A Good Idea Gets Better! QLogic 5800V lets you connect 8Gb, 4Gb, or 2Gb devices to a SAN for about the same cost as competing 4Gb-only solutions, but the investment protection advantages go much deeper! Unlike other solutions, the 5800V can phase bandwidth provisioning incrementally within your ISL fabric— the most performance-critical area of the SAN. 1. Start with “Always On” 10Gb ISLs Each QLogic 5800V ships with all four 10Gb stacking ports active by default.
