EcoSwitch - Fibre Channel Switch
EcoSwitch combines 8 Gb fibre channel performance, expandability, low power consumption and compact 1U form factor to offer a very high value, yet economical SAN solution.
EcoSwitch is an ideal building block to use with EcoServers and EcoRAID and FlashDisk storage to create departmental and enterprise environments - including high performance VMware.
The short depth allows more equipment in less space with lower power and cooling, saving money.
Ecological
Telecommunications companies have always used small racks to reduce cooling costs by reducing hot spots that overtax air conditioning systems. Now data centers can benefit from this well known principle.
Economical
EcoSwitch delivers the performance and reliability from Qlogic Corporation. It lets you start small, add 4-port increments, stack switches to five high with 120 ports total - non-disruptively. It is all easy to manage as a single device with an embedded Web GUI - saving costly administrator time and eliminating planned downtime for expansion.
Upgrade Infrastructure as Needed
By supporting high speed 8 Gb ports and backward compatibility to 4 Gb and 2 Gb ports, EcoSwitch let you upgrade the portions of your infrastructure that need it most while preserving your investment in the older portions that are working just fine.
Manageability
QuickTools includes both the Web GUI and Command Line Interface (CLI) and enables adaptive trunking for delivering high speed to individual servers.
Systems Integration
EcoSwitch combined with EcoServer, EcoRAID and FlashDisk storage and accessories including UPS - and even racks - enables IT managers to obtain an integrated solution from a single vendor that supports the entire hardware infrastructure. IT managers concentrate on the applications and the business value created.
Single Source Support
The entire integrated solution of EcoServers, EcoSwitch, EcoRAID and FlashDisk storage and accessories are supported under a single warranty and service contract. This eliminates the finger pointing often found in self-integrated hardware solutions. The standard warranty includes 24x7 call center support and next day on-site service. Four hour response service is also available as an option.
