0X47M6 - Dell S4048 S-Series 48 x 10GbE SFP+ and 6 x 40GbE Ports Layer 2 and 3 Network Switch

Description

The Dell 0X47M6 belongs to the Dell Networking S4048-ON series, a high-performance, low-latency switch designed specifically for the demands of modern data center environments. This switch offers a dense configuration of 48 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) SFP+ ports, ideal for connecting a large number of servers, storage devices, or other network endpoints requiring high-speed access. Complementing these are 6 x 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) QSFP+ ports, which provide high-capacity uplinks to the network core, aggregation for multiple 10GbE links, or connections to other high-bandwidth devices, ensuring efficient traffic flow and scalability. The 'ON' in S4048-ON signifies its support for Dell's Open Networking initiative, meaning it is designed to run various network operating systems (NOS), including Dell's own OS10, as well as third-party options like Cumulus Linux or SONiC. This flexibility allows organizations to choose the NOS that best fits their operational model and expertise, promoting greater choice and avoiding vendor lock-in. The switch's 1U rackmount form factor makes it suitable for Top-of-Rack (ToR) deployments, maximizing rack space efficiency. With a switching capacity of 960 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 720 million packets per second (Mpps), the S4048-ON provides the performance necessary for demanding workloads such as virtualization, cloud computing, and high-performance computing (HPC). Its combination of high port density, flexible OS support, and robust performance makes it a cornerstone for building agile and efficient data center networks.
