QLogic 5802V Dual SB5802V-08A8

The QLogic 5802V Dual (SB5802V-08A8) is a 8Gb/s Fibre Channel switch designed for storage area networks that connect servers to disk arrays, all-flash storage and tape libraries. It belongs to the SANbox Series.

It provides 8 Fibre Channel ports for connecting host bus adapters, storage controllers and inter-switch links. Operating at up to 8Gb/s per port, it delivers the low-latency, lossless transport that block storage needs. Dedicated storage networking keeps SAN traffic separate from your LAN for predictable performance and stronger security. Dual, independent fabrics are a common SAN design for redundant server-to-storage paths. As storage grows, inter-switch links let you extend the fabric. Keeping storage on its own fabric shields it from LAN traffic spikes. Check host bus adapter, storage array and optic compatibility before adding the switch to an existing fabric. Fibre Channel SFP optics are speed-specific, so choose transceivers that match your target link speed.

Paired switches let you service one fabric while storage access continues on the other. A clean SAN design simplifies growth, migrations and cluster expansion. Zoning adds a layer of access control between servers and storage. Storage vendors publish interoperability matrices worth checking before rollout. As a storage-specific protocol, Fibre Channel offers predictable, lossless delivery. Matching switch models across fabrics simplifies firmware and support. Whether you are building a new network or replacing an existing unit, the SB5802V-08A8 delivers storage area network connectivity that fits the job.
