Product Description
The Dell Networking S4048T-ON switch, identified by SKUs like 97M90, is a high-density, high-performance Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch engineered for demanding data center environments. It provides 48 ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (SFP+) and six ports of 40 Gigabit Ethernet (QSFP+), offering substantial bandwidth for server connectivity and high-speed uplinks. This configuration makes it ideal for aggregation layers or as a core switch in smaller to medium-sized data centers, supporting high-performance computing, cloud, and big data workloads. As a Layer 3 switch, the S4048T-ON supports advanced routing protocols, enabling it to perform complex routing functions directly within the network fabric. This capability can simplify network architecture, reduce latency, and improve traffic management by moving routing decisions closer to the edge. Its high switching fabric capacity of up to 1.28 Tbps and forwarding rate of up to 960 Mpps ensure that it can handle large volumes of traffic without becoming a bottleneck. The S4048T-ON is designed for flexibility and efficiency, featuring a non-blocking architecture that allows all ports to operate at line rate simultaneously. It supports a range of advanced features, including Open Network Install Environment (ONIE) for easy operating system deployment, and is compatible with various network operating systems, offering customers choice and customization. Its robust design and comprehensive feature set make it a powerful solution for modernizing data center networks.
