Overview:
High-density, 1RU 48-port 1/10G BASE-T switch plus four 40GbE uplinks with non-blocking line-rate performance; feature-rich Dell Force10 Operating System (FTOS); optimized for iSCSI, DCB and ToR applications for Dell 12G rack servers , blade servers with Force10 MXL,and storage solutions.
High Density 1/10G BASE-T Switch
The Dell Networking S-Series S4820T 1/10G BASE-T Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch is purpose-built for high performance data centers. By leveraging a non-blocking, cut-through (default mode is store and forward) switching architecture, the S4820T delivers line-rate L2/L3 features to maximize network performance. The S4820T design provides (48) 1/10G BASE-T ports that support 100Mb/1Gb/10Gb and four 40GbE QSFP+ uplinks. Each 40GbE QSFP+ uplink can be broken out into four 10GbE ports using breakout cables.
Priority-based Flow Control (PFC), Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS), Data Center Bridge Exchange (DCBx) coupled with line rate throughput positions the S4820T as an ideal solution for data center ToR applications for servers, and storage arrays. In addition, the S4820T incorporates multiple architectural features that optimize data center network flexibility, efficiency, and availability. These features include IO panel to PSU airflow or PSU to IO panel airflow for hot/cold aisle environments, and redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fans.
S4820T also supports Dell Networking's Open Automation Framework, which provides advanced network automation and virtualization capabilities for virtual data center environments. The Open Automation Framework is comprised of a suite of inter-related network management tools that can be used together or independently to provide a network that is flexible, available and manageable while helping to reduce operational expenses.
