GEC NEWS WIREInnovative new campus network architecture designed for simplified deployment, manageability and investment protection
Dell has expanded its networking portfolio to address growing complexities in campus networking and skyrocketing bandwidth demands in the data centre. For the campus, Dell introduced a new unified-campus architecture powered by the new Dell Networking C9010 Network Director switch and companion C1048P Rapid Access Node. In the data centre, Dell debuted the Dell Networking S6100-ON, combining multi-rate connectivity, modularity, and open networking to deliver unparalleled in-rack networking flexibility.
“At Dell, we’re taking a holistic, end-to-end approach to networking from connecting server storage and workloads together in the data centre to connecting desktops and mobile devices in the campus,” said Tom Burns, vice president and general manager, Dell Networking and Enterprise Infrastructure. “We’re excited about these new products and capabilities and the new levels of simplicity and flexibility to help our customers become future ready.
Available from October 2015, the new Dell Networking C9010 Network Director is a next-generation multi-rate capable modular switch and is the first platform based on the new Dell campus network architecture.
For enhanced investment protection, Dell N-series switches within current customer environments can also become access nodes via a software download shortly after launch.
As the latest addition to the S-Series family of data centre switches, the Dell Networking S6100-ON combines multi-rate connectivity with chassis-level modularity and open networking perfect for data center operators seeking maximum flexibility and control in the rack. It will be available in the first quarter of 2016.
