Apple Recommends For

Ideal for cost-sensitive, open systems environments that require medium-to-high port density, performance, and availability in an intelligent switch platform.

The QLogic SANbox 9100 is ideal for cost-sensitive, open systems environments that require high port density, performance, and availability in an intelligent switch platform for their data center core. Start with as few as sixteen (16) 8Gb or 4Gb device ports and expand to 128 ports per 4U chassis. And you can upgrade to the SB9200 BASE model to HyperStack two chassis for up to 256 ports in an 8U space.

Best of all, each switch includes a comprehensive set of core switch software management tools, so there are no extra fees for advanced management.

The SANbox 9100 ENTRY model features a single CPU. For dual CPUs with optional fail-over support (99.999% availability), increased backplane bandwidth, and the ability to HyperStack two chassis, upgrade non-disruptively to the SANbox 9200 BASE model.

Interoperable with popular servers, storage, and networking products from major manufacturers. See http://www.qlogic.com/Interoperability/Pages/Interoperability.aspx for more information.
