Data center optimized 1/10GbE switchThe Dell Networking S Series S55 1/10GbE top-of-rack(ToR) switch is optimized for lowering operational costswhile increasing scalability and improving manageabilityat the network edge. Optimized for high-performancedata center applications, the S55 leverages a non-blockingarchitecture that delivers low-latency L2 and L3 switchingto eliminate network bottlenecks. The high-density S55design provides 48 GbE access ports with up to fourmodular 10GbE uplinks in just 1RU to conserve valuablerack space. The S55 incorporates multiple architecturalfeatures that optimize data center network efficiency andreliability, including I/O-to-PSU panel airflow or PSU-to-I/O panel airflow for hot/cold aisle environments,and redundant, hot-swappable power supplies andfans. A “scale-as-you-grow” ToR solution that is simpleto deploy and manage, up to 12 S55 switches can bestacked to create a a single logical switch by utilizingDell Networking’s stacking technology and high-speedstacking modules.The S55 provides support for Dell Networking’s OpenAutomation Framework, which leverages capabilitiesof the modular Dell FTOS software to bring networkautomation into virtual data center environments, makingthem more responsive and able to adapt to changesin application requirements. The Open AutomationFramework is comprised of a suite of inter-relatednetwork management tools that can be used together orindependently to provide a network that is more flexible,available and manageable while reducing operationalexpenses.Applications• 1/10GbE server aggregation at the ToR in high-performance data center environments• With the S4810/S4820T/Z9000 virtualized switch/router to create a flat, two-tier, non-blocking 1/10GbEdata center network designKey features• The 1RU S55 switch delivers 48 GbE access interfaces:– 44 10/100/1000Base-T copper ports (fixed RJ45)– 4 GbE ports that can be configured for copperor fiber (SFP)• In addition, the S55 provides two optional high-speedslots that support the following uplink modules:– 2-port 10GbE SFP+ modules– 2-port 12Gbps stacking module• 176Gbps switching capacity delivers, non-blockingswitching with less than 5 microseconds of latency• Scalable layer 2 and layer 3 switching with a fullcomplement of standards-based features in FTOS• I/O-to-PSU panel airflow or PSU-to-I/O panel airflow• Redundant, hot-swappable power supplies (AC or DC)and fans• Stacking technology enables up to 12 S55 switches tobe managed as a single unit• Open Automation Framework adds VM awareness aswell as automated configuration and provisioningcapabilities to simplify the management of virtualnetwork environments• Modular Dell FTOS software delivers inherentstability as well as advanced monitoring andserviceability functions• Supports 9,252 byte jumbo frames• Low power consumption of 130W for a fully-configuredunitWire-speed 1/10GbE,low-latency ToR switchdelivers efficient datacenter performance.Dell Networking S SeriesS55 high-performance 1/10GbE top-of-rack switch48-port GbE switch with up to four modular 10GbE ports or stacking interfaces in just 1RU, non-blockingarchitecture supports low-latency switching and routing, integrated network automation andvirtualization technology with Networking’s Open Automation Framework, reliable, data center optimizeddesign supports I/O-to-PSU and PSU-to-I/O airflows and redundant, hot-swappable power.
