S-Series S25P High Performance GbE/10 GbE Access Switch
The Force10 S25P is a compact form factor switch that delivers high Gigabit Ethernet fiber
density at the network edge, enabling cost-effective scalability while eliminating bandwidth
bottlenecks at key aggregation points.
Key Applications
Coupled with the E-Series and C-Series, which deliver unmatched resiliency and performance,
the S25P enables IT managers to deploy a reliable end-to-end 10 GbE solution that spans from
core to network edge.
Small form factor intra-POP Layer 2 interconnects
10 GbE LAN PHY or DWDM XFP media modules for cost-effective metro or inter-POP transport
Flexible customer aggregation and distribution switch supporting 10/100/1000Base-T
copper and 100/1000Mbps fiber
Line-rate GbE and 10 GbE rack switches for the most demanding data center, storage or
compute facility
Key Features
