The SANbox 9100 is ideal for cost sensitive, business-important, open system environments that require a medium-to-high density/performance/availabil-ity intelligent switch platform for their data center core.

However, if support for 24x7 Mission Critical applications, massive data streaming throughput (e.g., Video applications) and/or greater than 128-port count fabrics are the requirements, then the dual CPU SANbox 9200 Model with future HyperStack capability (Apple part number TL260LL/A) would be the correct solution choice.

The SANbox 9100 represents a number of industry firsts:
Flexible, cost-effective scalability with upgradeability to stackable SB9200 Model.
A rackable 4U chassis for smaller footprint.
The simplicity and economies of Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs).
A comprehensive set of core switch software management tools included as stan-dard.
Best of all, a phenomenal price point compared to legacy director switches.

Features:
High Density

• The SANbox 9100 stackable chassis switch scales to 128 ports in a 4U single chassis module.
  
• The SANbox 9100 ENTRY Model provides a very low-cost entry point with a 16-port 4Gb FC and single CPU configuration.
  
• Eight I/O Blade slots per chassis module supporting multi-protocol technologies including:
  -4/2/1Gb FC I/O Blade
  -10Gb FC I/O Blade
  

High Performance

• Non-blocking, full-duplex bandwidth at 400Gbps in a single chassis module. Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs) and High Availability
  
• Support for high-availability applications with important business operations via dual redundant, hot-pluggable Power Supply & Fan Blades (single CPU blade), Non-Disruptive Code Load and Activation (NDCLA).
  

Low Total Cost of Ownership

• Architected for long-term investment flexibility and protection to deliver a previously unachievable reduction in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
  

Pervasive Interoperability

• Interoperable with popular servers, storage and networking products from major manufacturers.
