Dell S4820T-AC Force10 S4820T 48 x Ports 10/100/1000Base-TX

Product Description

The Dell S4820T-AC is a versatile and powerful switch engineered for modern data center environments, particularly for top-of-rack (ToR) deployments. It features 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports for server connectivity, providing high port density required in dense rack configurations. Complementing the copper ports are four 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ uplink ports, which offer high-speed connectivity to the network aggregation layer or core, ensuring sufficient bandwidth for traffic aggregation from connected servers. This switch operates at Layer-3, providing advanced routing capabilities that allow for efficient traffic management and network segmentation within the data center. It supports a range of features crucial for data center networking, including Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation (MLAG) for high availability and load balancing, and Data Center Bridging (DCB) for lossless Ethernet, which is essential for storage traffic like iSCSI and FCoE. The S4820T-AC is designed for high throughput and low latency, ensuring optimal performance for demanding server workloads. With its combination of high port density, 10GbE uplinks, Layer-3 intelligence, and data center-specific features, the Dell S4820T-AC is a robust solution for building scalable and efficient data center networks. Its AC power input makes it suitable for standard data center power infrastructure. The switch provides a reliable foundation for server connectivity, storage networking, and overall data center fabric.
