Genel Özellikler
The Dell Networking S Series S6000 10/40GbE switch is built for
applications in high-performance data center and computing
environments. Leveraging a non-blocking switching architecture,
the S6000 delivers line-rate L2 and L3 forwarding capacity to
maximize network performance. The compact S6000 design
provides industry-leading density of 32 ports of 40GbE or 96
ports of 10GbE1
and eight additional ports of 40GbE to conserve
rack space while enabling denser footprints and simplifying
migration to 40Gbps in the data center core. Priority-Based
Flow Control (PFC), Data Center Bridge Exchange (DCBX) and
Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS) make the S6000 ideally
suited for DCB environments. In addition, the S6000 incorporates
multiple architectural features that optimize data center network
flexibility, efficiency and availability, including redundant, hotswappable
power supplies and fans.
The S6000 is the only switch in the industry that provides
customers unbiased approach to Network Virtualization by
supporting both network centric virtualization method (VRF-lite)
and Hypervisor centric virtualization method (VXLAN). The S6000
also supports Dell Networking’s Embedded Open Automation
Framework, which provides enhanced network automation and
virtualization capabilities for virtual data center environments.
The Open Automation Framework comprises a suite of interrelated
network management tools that can be used together or
independently to provide a network that is flexible, available and
manageable while helping to reduce operational expenses.
