The Dell S5000 1RU top-of-rack (ToR) switch oers innovative
modular, converged networking capabilities. The switch
converges LAN and SAN trac over a single 10 Gigabit Ethernet
(10GbE) connection to help optimize server and storage
connectivity in enterprise-scale data centers deploying
separate networks based on dierent networking protocols.
Converged LAN/SAN ToR switch
The Dell S5000 is a 10/40GbE unied storage switch
architected for a ToR virtualized data center environment. It
provides a fully modular converged LAN/SAN switch purpose-
built for applications in high-performance data center and
fabric deployments. The S5000 supports LAN and native Fiber
Channel ports using optional modules for maximum exibility
and scalability.
Leveraging a non-blocking, cut-through switching
architecture, the S5000 provides line-rate L2 and L3 forwarding
capacity with low latency to maximize network performance.
The S5000 is a fully modular switch with four modular bays
and four xed 40GbE uplink ports. Each 40GbE QSFP+ uplink
can also support four 10 GbE ports using a breakout cable. The
Ethernet module supports 12 1/10GbE ports, while the Unied
port module supports 12 FC 2/4/8 ports.
S5000 is powered by the industry-hardened, feature-rich FTOS
designed for maximum dependability and uptime. Virtual link
trunking (VLT) provides a loop-free topology with active-active
load-sharing of links from access to core. Hardware stacking
using front port stacking up to six units provides maximum
exibility and scalability for data center environments. The
S5000 supports Dell Open Automation Framework, which
provides advanced network automation and virtualization
capabilities for virtual data center environments. The Open
Automation Framework is comprised of a suite of interrelated
network management tools which can be used together or
independently to provide a more exible, available and
manageable network while helping to reduce operational
expenses.
Key applications
• Lossless fabric for LAN/SAN deployments
• Design with the Dell Z-Series core switch to create a at,
two-tier, non-blocking 1/10/40 GbE data center network
design
• Design a Clos fabric with S5000 switch in leaf and spine with
the S-Series 1/10GbE ToR switches for cost-eective
aggregation of 10 GbE uplinks
Key features
• FTOS operating system oering inherent stability as well as
advanced monitoring and serviceability functions
• Open Automation Framework adds VM-awareness as well
as automated conguration and provisioning capabilities to
simplify the management of virtual network environments
• Scalable L2 and L3 Ethernet switching with QoS and a full
complement of standards-based IPv4 and IPv6 features
• VLT and mVLT for layer 2 multipath
• User port stacking support for up to six units
• Support for jumbo frames for high-end server connectivity
• 128 link aggregation groups with up to eight members per
group, using advanced hashing
• Fiber Channel, FCoE, FCoE transit (FIP Snooping) and NPIV
Proxy Gateway (NPG)
• Full data center bridging (DCB) support for lossless iSCSI SANs
and converged network.
• Redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fans
• I/O panel to PSU airow or PSU to I/O panel airow
(reversable airow)
• Software-dened networking/OpenFlow support*
