Building an end-to-end SAN requires you to cope with server connectivity, the switched
abric connecting servers to storage and the network services that run on the SAN. Thats
why deploying end-to-end SAN inrastructure is the intelligent approach. Only QLogic
delivers this end-to-end SAN inrastructure. Only QLogic provides everything you need to
install, congure and operate a world-class SAN, rom host bus adapters (HBAs) to switches
to intelligent storage routers. O course, i you enjoy rolling up your sleeves and wading into
complex, costly integration projects, then choosing separate SAN switch, HBA and routervendors may be your cup o tea. But i you have better things to do with your time and money,
QLogic is or you.
end-to-end
QLogic. The Only Provider oEnd-to-End SAN Inrastructure.
- A uniied network platorm or server connectivity, switchedabrics and abric management
- Avoid complex and costly integration projects with single pointso management
- Higher perormance, pervasive interoperability, simpleinstallation and management
End-to-End
End-to-end SAN infrastructure from QLogic. Our Host Bus Adapters
(HBAs) provide server connectivity throughout the SAN, and SANbox
switches provide the switched fabric that connects servers to
storage and converged fabrics. SANbox Intelligent Storage Routers
connect networks, servers and SAN storage, allowing you to replicate
data across WANs. The vFabric architecture provides network-
based fabric virtualization to simplify management and provide fault-
tolerant SAN isolation. And QLogic Fabric Management provides
command and control over performance, security and uptime of your
storage and converged networks.
From the heart o the datacenter to the workgroup to the edge o the enterprise and even in the increasingly
sophisticated networks o small-to-medium businesses QLogic does more or dynamic businesses
and organizations. Were rst in Fibre Channel stackable switches, and no one sells more Fibre Channel and
iSCSI HBAs than QLogic. Regardless o environment, platorm, operating system, server brand or storage vendor,
QLogic has the solution thats right or you. At a price thats right or your budget, too.

As individual components, QLogic SANbox products provide best-in-class
advantages. Working together as integrated solutions, they not only look better,
they make your SAN perorm better, too. Thats why the entire QLogic SANbox
line won the Windows IT Pro Readers Choice Award. For your switched abric,
you can count on QLogic or exactly the right switch... rom the core to the
distribution layer to the edge. For server and WAN connectivity, QLogic
Intelligent Storage Routers boost utilization while driving down cost and
complexity. And or the holy grail o virtualization, the QLogic architecture will
oer vFabric partitioning and transparent routing in your heterogeneousSAN. By organizing a SAN into individual virtual abrics, you greatly simpliy
management and provide secure SAN isolation. More importantly, you ensure
an open environment that can accommodate multiple vendors, new solutions
and uture fexibility.
