Product Description

The Dell PowerSwitch S4048-ON, identified by part number 0VDVC6, is a high-performance, low-latency 1RU rackmount switch engineered for modern data center networks. It is optimized for top-of-rack (ToR) deployments, offering a dense configuration of high-speed ports to support demanding server and storage connectivity requirements. The switch features 48 x 10GbE SFP+ ports, providing ample bandwidth for connecting a large number of servers and storage devices, crucial for virtualization, cloud computing, and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. Complementing the 10GbE ports, the S4048-ON includes six 40GbE QSFP+ ports. These high-speed uplinks offer significant bandwidth for aggregation to the data center core or for connecting to high-performance storage arrays and other switches. The QSFP+ ports can also be configured as 4 x 10GbE connections using breakout cables, providing additional flexibility in network design and resource allocation. This combination of dense 10GbE access and high-speed 40GbE uplinks makes the S4048-ON a versatile and powerful networking solution. As part of Dell's open networking portfolio, the PowerSwitch S4048-ON supports the Open Network Install Environment (ONIE). This allows for the installation of various network operating systems (NOS), giving customers the freedom to choose the software that best fits their operational needs and technical expertise, thereby promoting flexibility and avoiding vendor lock-in. The S4048-ON is designed for efficiency, performance, and adaptability, making it a strong choice for data centers aiming to build agile and scalable network infrastructures.
