Compared to the competition:
- Dell Networking C7008 helps businesses scale easily to 1.6x more 40 Gigabit Ethernet density than the Cisco Catalyst 6513-E.
- Dell Networking C7008 delivers 2x more PoE+ ports than Cisco Catalyst 4500-E Series.
C-Series Resilient Switches
The Dell C-Series resilient chassis-based switches deliver reliability, network control and scalability. The C-series is designed to support GbE and 10GbE switch aggregation for enterprise campus and business wiring closets, while also supporting 1/10GbE server aggregation and 10/40GbE core operations/campus connections for data centers. Comprehensive management capabilities make the C-Series a cost-effective and flexible deployment option.
Key applications
- High-density 1/10GbE aggregation into a multiple Gbps or 40GbE backbone
- Cost-effective, scalable PoE+ IEEE wiring closet aggregation of VoIP phones, wireless access points or other IEEE 802.3at-compliant devices
- Low-cost 100/1000Mbps server aggregation for small-to medium-sized data centers (100s to 1,000s of servers)
- Scalable GbE aggregation and 10GbE transport in a carrier's Middle Mile network to enable the deployment of triple play services
