S Series S60 high-performance access switch
The Dell Networking S Series S60 is a high-performance
1/10GbE access switch optimized for lowering operational
costs at the network edge. The S60 answers the key
challenges related to network congestion in data center
top-of-rack (ToR) and service provider aggregation
deployments. As the use of bursty applications and
services continue to increase, huge spikes in network
traffic that can cause network congestion and packet
loss also become more common. The S60 is equipped
with one of the industry’s largest packet buffers (1.25GB),
enabling it to deliver lower application latency and
maintain predictable network performance even when
faced with significant spikes in network traffic. Providing
48 GbE ports and up to four optional 10GbE uplinks in just
1RU, the S60 conserves valuable rack space. Further, the
S60 design delivers unmatched configuration flexibility,
high reliability, and power and cooling efficiency to
reduce costs.

In addition to delivering a compact and scalable design,
the S60 also supports the Dell Networking 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 inter-related
network management tools that can be used together or
independently to provide a network that is more flexible,
available and manageable while reducing
operational expenses.
