Dell PowerConnect 7000 Gigabit Ethernet switches are Layer 3 scalable enterprise switches that give you the power and flexibility you need for today and the future, offering advanced switching capabilities including high-density, 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks, high-performance stacking, high redundancy and availability, scalable from the small business to the campus Edge.
The PowerConnect 7000 series switches are designed to off er secure, fi xed-port Gigabit Ethernet switching solutions which deliver full wire-speed switching performance. With 24 or 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports in a 1U form factor, the Power Connect 7000 series has a total switching capacity of up to 224 Gbps to support demanding network environments. The switches also off er simple management and scalability via a 128Gbps (via two stacking modules) high-availability stacking architecture that allows you to manage up to twelve switches from a single IP address, and share the upgradeable 10GbE ports across the stack for uplinks to the next layer in your network. The switches are designed with power-saving features including Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) ports to help reduce per port power consumption while decrease cooling and power costs. Select models off er 24 & 48 ports of PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at), support for high- power WLAN Access Points (WAPs), Voice over IP (VoIP) handsets, video conferencing and security cameras up to 30.8 watts of power.
