Migrate to 8Gb at Your Own Pace
Thanks to widespread corporate plans for server virtualization/consolidation,
along with the rapid adoption of multi-core processors, many SAN users are
already feeling the need for 8Gb network speeds. At a minimum, savvy
IT managers know they must take the 8Gb transition into account when
making their next equipment purchases.
However, these same customers—and others who are not yet ready for
8Gb – also demand a solution that can be installed alongside
existing
infrastructure without requiring large “up front” payments for capabilities
that may be needed later.
QLogic’s field-proven modular backbone architecture, a key component of
the QLogic SAN lifecycle management framework, offers a powerful answer
to this dual request, allowing customers to build SANs that will last far into
the future – while simultaneously lowering both capital expense (CAPEX)
and operating expense (OPEX) through all phases of technology roll-out.
