DELL Networking C7000 series Switches (C7004, C7008)

Dell Networking C7000 Series switches are high-performance modular platforms designed to deliver resiliency, flexibility, and scalability for enterprise campus and data center environments. These chassis-based switches provide a future-ready infrastructure for high-density aggregation and core deployments.

The C7004 (9U) and C7008 (13U) models offer up to 1.536 Tbps of switching capacity. Engineered for non-stop operation, the C-series features redundant route processor modules (RPM) and a highly resilient power architecture (up to 7+1 redundancy). With extensive support for 10/40GbE interfaces and high-density PoE+, these switches easily handle the workloads of UC&C and VDI for a global workforce. Running on the proven Dell Networking OS, the series utilizes Virtual Link Trunking (VLT) to eliminate spanning-tree dependencies and maximize link utilization across the fabric.
