Business Wire
Dell today announced the Dell PowerConnect 8100 managed 10
Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switch family offering customers building
blocks to deploy applications quickly, scale operations and reduce
costs. The new additions to the PowerConnect family are
high-density, high-performance switch solutions designed to
streamline deployments for enterprise campus and small core,
mid-market network infrastructures.
With the rapid growth of rich media, communications and heavy
business workloads, campus and small business networks are under
increased pressure to improve productivity, maximize efficiency and
simplify management. Dell designed the new PowerConnect 8100 Series
to meet customer demand for networking solutions that deliver a
combination of scalability, performance, operational simplicity,
and cost-effectiveness in 24/7 operations.
Built for today’s enterprise
Customers can replace older core and aggregation layers with
scalable, higher-density solutions for the flexibility to step up
to 10GbE and 40GbE infrastructures. The new switches enable a
complete end-to-end 10GbE solution, featuring Dell PowerEdge 12th
generation servers with 10GbE onboard, as well as Dell EqualLogic
and Dell Compellent 10GbE storage arrays. Key functionality
includes:
- Network performance: The 8100
delivers line-rate, low-latency 10GbE performance and up to four
40GbE ports. The switches are optimized for video conferencing,
virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), and unified communications
and collaboration (UCC) for mid-market unified campus
aggregation.
- Scalable Density: Up to six
switches can be stacked and managed simply, enabling businesses to
quickly add capacity while delivering a reliable infrastructure
that just works.
- Efficient operation: The 8100
series simplifies integration for mid-size storage area networks
with iSCSI traffic flow optimization and automated configuration
with Dell EqualLogic storage arrays while enabling loss-less data
operations across converged (DCB) networks.
Campus and small business efficiencies help reduce
TCO
The PowerConnect 8100 Series builds on Dell’s Virtual Networking
Architecture (VNA) delivering an open networking framework for
efficient IT infrastructure and workload intelligence, backed by
technology, solutions and products for data centers and campus
environments. Customers can increase cost-effectiveness of their
operations through:
- Platform Choice: Four models for
flexible deployment: available in 24 and 48 ports, in dedicated
RJ-45 or fiber models, with expandable options, including 40GbE
capable QSFP+ ports. Choices enable customers to expand their
infrastructure as business needs grow.
- Ease of deployment: Dell’s
ReadyRails tool-less installation enables set up right out of the
box in a matter of minutes rather than hours. USB Rapid Deployment
ports eliminate the need to manually configure or update each
switch, helping save customers time and money.
- Energy efficiency: Designed with
Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) (802.3az) to intelligently manage
power usage, reducing per port power consumption for idle or
inactive ports and helping deliver OPEX savings.
- Comprehensive management and
support: Simplify management with Dell OpenManage Network
Manager 5.2 to rapidly manage and configure switches, while backed
by Dell’s strong warranty, services and support for Dell Networking
products.
