Description
Force10 S3048-ON Layer 3 Switch – 48 Ports – Manageable – Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet – 1000Base-T, 10GBase-X – Refurbished – 3 Layer Supported – Modular – Twisted Pair, Optical Fiber – 1U High – Rack-mountableHigh density 1000BASE-T switch
The Dell Networking S3048-ON 1000BASE-T Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch is the industry’s first 1GbE enterprise switching platform to deliver both an industry hardened OS and support for open networking, providing freedom to run third-party operating systems (OS), such as Cumulus Linux.
This open networking platform is built for high-performance, software-defined data centers and provides the features to run traditional workloads and the flexibility to deploy new workloads such as Hadoop, SDS and Big Data. As the only 1GbE platform with support for open networking, the S3048-ON offers the flexibility to run OS options optimized for these diverse deployment needs on a common hardware platform and architecture.
The S3048-ON features a non-blocking switching architecture coupled with OS9.X software, delivering line-rate L2/L3 features for maximized network performance. The S3048-ON design provides (48) 1000BASE-T ports that support 10MB/100MB/1GB and four 10GbE SFP+ uplinks. Each 10GbE interface can be used as uplinks to the network spine/core, as stack ports to connect up to eight units in a stacked configuration, or a combination of both, depending on network architecture and uplink/stack bandwidth requirements.
The S3048-ON incorporates multiple architectural features that optimize data center network flexibility, efficiency and availability. including:
- I/O panel to PSU airflow or PSU to I/O panel airflow for hot/cold aisle environments
- Redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fans with color coded touch points for ease of identification/removal.
- Dell ReadyRails for efficient installation of the switch into data center cabinets.
