QLogic's SANBox 5602

I figured QLogic must have done more than simply increase the port speeds--even at 2 gigabits, negotiated speed improved. The vendor insisted it hadn't revamped the internal architecture dramatically. It will be interesting to test other vendors' 4-gigabit switches in the same environment to see if this improvement is global. Simple Setup
The process of getting the QLogic into the FC fabric was simple. I used the serial connection to adjust the management-port settings, then plugged it into the IP network and switch using SANsurfer, QLogic's switch-management software, for advanced configuration options.

Good
• 4-gigabit-enabled
• Performance improvements even at 2 gigabits • No direct integration with Netegritys Bad
• Only 16 ports
• Not as many bells and whistles as some leading FC switches
