8Gb Opportunity?
Server virtualization, multi-core processors, rich media will create an ever-increasing need, however…
8Gb transition will be phased for most businesses• New SANs will continue to launch with 4Gb storage in near term• Legacy servers will continue to connect at 4Gb…and 2Gb
Customers will demand immediate value for every $ spent Must protect 4Gb and 2Gb infrastructure investments Require fabric (ISLs) to accommodate changing mix of device speeds NOT willing to pay ahead of time for unused capabilities
Given these assumptions, how can partners WIN with 8Gb?
Only QLogic provides an 8Gb solution customers will want to install today!

“Always on” stacking simplifies planning
• No need to buy “full up” chassis
• True pay-as-you-grow
• More granular scalability = cost savings, deferred expense
No Math Required: Focus on device port needs ISL bandwidth and topology planning is automatic
Example 2
Add 8-port switch to existing stack
Example 1
• Establish 40-port footprint for quick “hands free” expansion later
• No need to license stacking ports separately
• Low-cost redundancy
Stack two 8-port switches
20Gb Extends Product Life
• 20Gb uses same ISL cables and XPAK transceivers as 10Gb
• No need to reconfigure topology – Simply turn on the bandwidth!
• Mix-and-match 10Gb and 20Gb ISLs in same stack – ports auto-negotiate to form single high-speed backbone!
20Gb ISLs on SANbox 5800 protect your hardware investment
Another industry first from QLogic!
When enough devices transition to 8Gb to require the extra ISL bandwidth, license activation is
easy and non-disruptive.
