Dell 634-BEBN PowerSwitch Z9100-ON 32-P QSFP28 + 2-P SFP+ Switch

Product Description

The Dell PowerSwitch Z9100-ON, identified by part number 634-BEBN, is a cutting-edge, high-density network switch engineered for the most demanding data center environments. This switch is a cornerstone for modern network designs, particularly those employing leaf-spine architectures, providing massive bandwidth and low latency connectivity. Its primary strength lies in its port configuration, boasting 32 QSFP28 ports, each capable of supporting 100GbE speeds, alongside two additional SFP+ ports for flexible uplink or management connections. This switch is built upon a high-performance switching ASIC, enabling it to achieve impressive switching capacities and forwarding rates, often measured in terabits per second (Tbps) and billions of packets per second (Bpps) respectively. This performance is critical for handling the massive east-west traffic flows characteristic of virtualized data centers, cloud computing environments, and high-performance computing clusters. The Z9100-ON supports advanced networking features and protocols, allowing for efficient traffic management, network segmentation, and robust Quality of Service (QoS) implementation. Running on the Dell Networking Operating System (or compatible third-party OS via ONIE - Open Network Install Environment), the PowerSwitch Z9100-ON offers flexibility in deployment and management. It can be configured and managed through a familiar command-line interface (CLI) or a web-based graphical user interface (GUI). Its compact 1U rackmount form factor makes it space-efficient in dense data center racks, while its high port density allows for significant network aggregation and reduction in cabling complexity. This switch is an ideal choice for organizations looking to build scalable, high-performance, and future-proof network infrastructures.
