DELL Networking S-series switches (S4820T, S5000, S6000)

Dell Networking S-Series switches (S4820T, S5000, S6000) are purpose-built 10/40GbE solutions for virtualized data centers and high-performance cloud environments. Running on the enterprise-grade FTOS, these Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches deliver exceptional throughput and industry-leading low latency.

The S6000 model doubles the density of standard switches, supporting up to 32 x 40GbE or 104 x 10GbE ports in a 1U chassis. The S4820T provides a seamless path to 10GBASE-T, while the S5000 serves as a modular convergence platform supporting both Ethernet and Fibre Channel (FC/FCoE). Integrated VXLAN support and Open Automation tools provide the agility needed to respond to changing application requirements while reducing operational costs.

Key Specifications:

• Performance: Up to 2.56 Tbps switching capacity (S6000).

• Low Latency: As low as 600 ns for high-frequency applications.

• Virtualization Ready: Hardware-based VXLAN gateway for seamless multi-tenant operations.

• Reliability: Redundant hot-swappable power supplies and variable-speed fans.

• Storage Optimized: Full DCB and iSCSI optimization for unified fabric deployments.
