ell Technologies data center switching solutions are cost-e󰀨ective
and easy to deploy at any scale. From 1 gigabit Ethernet (GbE) to
100GbE and 400GbE multi-rate options, PowerSwitch switches provide
optimum connectivity within the rack, between multiple racks, and through
modular compute chassis solutions. Dell EMC PowerSwitch switches
feature a choice of software options, including Dell EMC SmartFabric
OS10, Enterprise SONiC Distribution by Dell Technologies, and a number
of options from Dell Technologies’ Open Networking software ecosystem
and open source communities, to address virtually any enterprise or
service provider use-case, or environment at any scale. Additionally, our
standards-based networking solutions are interoperable with leading
virtualization environments, serving as a foundation for scale-out storage
and hyperconverged infrastructure through deep integration for VMware
NSX-T, vCenter, vSphere and vSAN and deployments.
At the top of rack, our latest PowerSwitch S series 25GbE switches help customers unlock the high-speed I/O
capabilities inherent in today’s server and storage elements, boosting performance 2.5x over legacy 10GbE
environments. All of our latest PowerSwitch S series platforms include 100GbE uplinks to facilitate high-speed
inter-rack connectivity with our PowerSwitch Z series family of 100GbE and 400GbE fabric switches.
In addition to the migration towards open networking solutions within the data center, customers are also
looking to reduce Operating Expenses (OpEx). At Dell Technologies we have a history of building out products
and o󰀨erings that help to simplify and automate operations.
