The SANbox5800V series is said to be the industry’s first stackable 8-Gbit Fibre Channel switch. It features 20-Gbit/s Fibre Channel ports that can handle interswitch traffic of up to three 8-Gbit/s links running at full speed.
The series also has 100-Gbit/s virtual lanes, which automatically pool multiple stack-interconnects to form a single virtual lane between units. The devices ship with all four 10-Gbit stacking ports active by default. When enough device ports are connected to 8-Gbit devices, users may non-disruptively upgrade their ISL ports to 20 Gbits/s. (From $5,000 available now.)
