The Dell S5000 is a 10/40GbE 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 Fibre Channel ports using optional modules for maximum flexibility 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 fixed 40GbE uplink ports. Each 40GbE QSFP+ uplink can also support four 10 GbE ports using a breakout cable. The S5000 supports three types of modules, including a Unified port module with 12 configurable ports for Fibre Channel 2/4/8Gbps and/or 1/10GbE SFP+, as well as SFP+ or 1/10GBASE-T Ethernet modules, each providing 12 1/10GbE ports.

The S5000 is powered by the industry-hardened, featurerich Dell Networking OS9 (OS9) 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 flexibility 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 flexible, available and manageable network while helping to reduce operational expenses.
