Optimizing Performance When Designing Highly Scalable SAN Solutions: Guidelines for SAN Architects

Category: Storage, Networking and Communications

Overview Before the advent of stackable switch solutions, Storage Area Network (SAN) architects had to trade scalability vs. performance. Data traffic across the network was limited to relatively few Inter-Switch Links (ISL). QLogic stackable switch solutions solve the scalability/performance dilemma. Each model in the SANbox 5000 series features a 4 pack of high-speed (10Gb) stacking ports that enable a SAN architect to scale seamlessly and maintain high performance. Connecting switches together using the dedicated stacking trunks preserves all 4Gb ports for use by servers and storage devices.
