Dell EMC launched new Open Networking capabilities to help customers transform their IT operations to lower IT costs, get quicker returns on investments and deliver new digital capabilities. “At Dell EMC, we believe networks work best when open, granting customers of all sizes maximum choice and capability,” said Tom Burns, SVP, Networking, Enterprise Infrastructure & Service Provider, Dell EMC.
Dell EMC delivers on the promise of software-defined networking to make network operations more flexible, programmable and easier to manage. An agile, programmable network is fundamental to transforming IT operations and addressing the ever-changing needs and demands of applications and workloads in the data center. New S5100-ON series is the industry’s first 25GbE Open Networking switch, offering more than 2x throughput of 10GbE switches for in-rack connectivity. New S4100-ON series delivers multifunctional, top-of-rack data center Open Networking switches optimized for high densities of 10GbE fiber/copper or Fibre Channel 8/16/32 server and converged local area networks storage area networks within racks. This Open Networking switch pushes the upper limits of Fibre Channel connectivity as Dell EMC’s first optimized to support 32 GB Fibre Channel for customers who want to further converge LAN/SAN operations. The S4148U’s unique design enables customers to deploy Ethernet top-of-rack and Fibre Channel switching in the same physical switch or further converge LAN/SAN using Fibre Channel-over-Ethernet. The new N1100 switches support IoT initiatives and workforce transformations that drive a wireless-first work space, where end users and access points get connected wherever they are located.
