Energy-efficient, cost-effective 1GbE switches for modernizing and scaling network infrastructure

The N2000 switch series offers a power-efficient Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) network-access switching solution with integrated 10GbE uplinks. With high-performance capabilities and wire-speed performance, utilizing a non-blocking architecture to easily handle unexpected traffic loads, the switches offer simple management and scalability via an 84Gbps (fullduplex) high availability stacking architecture that allows management of up to twelve switches from a single IP address. An integrated 80PLUScertified power supply and features such as Energy-Efficient Ethernet and short cable detection provide energy efficiency to help decrease power and cooling costs.

Modernize campus network architectures

Modernize campus network architectures with a power-efficient and resilient 1/10GbE switching solution with Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+). Select N2000 models offer 24 or 48 ports of PoE+ to deliver clean power to network devices such as wireless access points (APs), Voice-over-IP (VoIP) handsets, video conferencing systems and security cameras. For greater interoperability in multivendor networks, N2000 switches offer the latest open-standard protocols and include technology to interface with Cisco protocol RPVST+ and devices using CDP.

Leverage familiar tools and practices

All N-Series switches include Dell EMC Networking OS6, designed for easier deployment, greater interoperability and a lower learning curve for network administrators. One common command line interface (CLI) and graphic user interface (GUI) using a well-known command language gets skilled network administrators productive quickly. With USB auto-configuration, network administrators can rapidly deploy mirrored configurations to numerous devices by simply inserting a USB key.

Deploy with confidence at any scale

N2200-ON series switches help create performance assurance with a data rate up to 220Gbps (full duplex) and a forwarding rate up to 256Mpps. Scale easily with built-in rear stacking ports. Switch stacks of up to 600 1GbE ports can be managed from a single screen using the highly available stacking architecture for high-density aggregation with seamless redundant availability.

N-Series switches help provide certainty with a lifetime warranty that covers software upgrades, hardware repair or replacement, and optics and cables purchased with the switch.

Hardware, performance and efficiency

• Up to 48 line-rate GbE RJ-45 ports and two integrated 10GbE SFP+ ports.
• Support for 24 ports of PoE+ in 1RU or up to 48 ports of PoE+ with an optional external power supply.

High 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.
