The Dell EMC S5048-ON switch is an innovative, future-ready, open-top open network switch that can provide enterprises, mid-market, secondary cloud, and NFV service providers with superior functionality and economic benefits to meet their demanding computing and Storage traffic environment requirements. The S5048F-ON 25GbE switch is Dell’s most advanced decoupled hardware and software data center network solution, capable of providing backward compatible 25GbE server port connections, 100GbE uplinks, storage-optimized architecture, and a wide variety of Functions to meet the growing needs of today ’s data center environment today and in the future. The compact form factor of the S5048F-ON provides industry-leading high density through its model design, which can provide up to 72 25GbE ports or up to 48 25GbE ports and 6 100GbE ports in 1RU space. The S5048F-ON has industry-leading hardware and the preferred Dell OS9 or preferred third-party network operating system and tools to provide non-blocking performance for workloads sensitive to packet loss *. The compact S5048F-ON model provides multi-rate support, enabling higher-density applications and easier migration to 25GbE server connections and 100GbE network racks structure. With priority-based flow control (PFC), data center bridge switching (DCBX), and enhanced transport selection (ETS) technologies, the S5048F-ON has become an excellent choice for data center bridging environments.
 
Performance and Features
Dell EMC Networking S Series S5048F-ON switches are high-performance, multi-functional 10/25/40/50/100 GbE top-of-rack switches designed to run a variety of applications in high-performance data centers, cloud and computing environments . In addition, S5048F-ON integrates the characteristics of multiple architectures, which can improve the flexibility, efficiency and availability of the data center. These features include: support for airflow from the IO panel to the power supply unit or airflow from the power supply unit to the IO panel for cold / hot aisle environments, and redundant hot-swappable power supplies and fans.
 
Main application
To choose network technology to obtain the required flexibility, and then create a software-defined data center organization.
In a high-performance data center environment, it has the ability to access servers with a native high-density 25GbE top-of-rack network.
25GbE is backward compatible with 10G and 1G in order to be ready for future needs and to migrate data center servers to faster uplink speeds.
Unlimited connection of 25G and 10G servers can be connected through the ports on the front panel.
The deployment of iSCSI storage specifically includes DCB converged lossless transaction processing.
It is used as a top-of-rack switch or branch switch in the implementation of 100G Active Fabric network.
Used as a high-speed VXLAN L2 gateway to connect a tiered network based on a hypervisor to a non-virtualized infrastructure.
Meet the requirements of emerging applications, such as allowing hardware to support new protocols.
 
Main features
