Designed for performance
Dell Networking switching technology enables outstanding productivity for virtualized data center and cloud computing environments. The wide range of S-Series switches includes the S6000 10/40G high-density top-of-rack (ToR) switch, a compact 1RU fixed switch with full L2/L3 capability, including Data Center Bridging (DCB) and Virtual Link Trunking (VLT).
- Added flexibility to configure 32 x 40GbE ports or 96 x 10GbE plus 8 x 40GbE ports
- Low latency with superb performance and high density with hardware and software redundancy
- DCB for reliable, high-performance Ethernet in large data center networks
- Streamlined connectivity and workflow operation across physical and virtual resources with multi-tenancy capabilities
- Support for Network Virtualization with VXLAN Gateway hardware support integrated into the switch
- Integrated automation, scripting and programmatic management for enhanced network flexibility in virtualized environments
Developed for flexibility
The Dell Networking S-Series switches offer a family of products that enable you to find the ideal solution for your specific needs.
- Deliver versatility with line-rate performance and port densities from 48 x 1/10Gb Base T line-rate ports in the S4820T switches to 32 x 40GbE ports in the S6000
- Scale quickly with efficient stacking offered in many of the S-Series models, including S4810/S4820T/S5000 (10/40Gb) platforms
- Powered by our industry-hardened and feature-rich operating system for maximum dependability and uptime
- Full support for iSCSI storage area networks including support for DCB
Built for cost-effective deployment
Select S-Series Managed 10/40 Gb switches are supported with the Dell Open Automation Framework, a suite of interrelated network management tools that can be used together or independently to provide a flexible, available and manageable network while helping reduce operational expenses.
The Open Automation Framework takes full advantage of Dell FTOS software capabilities to bring network automation into virtual data center environments. This helps the S-Series switches efficiently respond and adapt to changes in application requirements.
