High density 1000BASE-T switch
The Dell Networking S3048-ON 1000BASE-T Top-of-Rack
(ToR) switch is the industry’s first 1GbE enterprise switching
platform to deliver both an industry hardened OS and
support for open networking, providing freedom to run
third-party operating systems (OS), such as Cumulus Linux.
This open networking platform is built for high-performance,
software-defined data centers and provides the features
to run traditional workloads and the flexibility to deploy
new workloads such as Hadoop, SDS and Big Data. As the
only 1GbE platform with support for open networking, the
S3048-ON oers the flexibility to run OS options optimized
for these diverse deployment needs on a common
hardware platform and architecture.
The S3048-ON features a non-blocking switching
architecture coupled with OS9.X software, delivering
line-rate L2/L3 features for maximized network
performance. The S3048-ON design provides (48)
1000BASE-T ports that support 10MB/100MB/1GB and four
10GbE SFP+ uplinks. Each 10GbE interface can be used
as uplinks to the network spine/core, as stack ports to
connect up to eight units in a stacked configuration, or a
combination of both, depending on network architecture
and uplink/stack bandwidth requirements.
The S3048-ON incorporates multiple architectural features
that optimize data center network flexibility, eciency and
availability. including:
• I/O panel to PSU airflow or PSU to I/O panel airflow for
hot/cold aisle environments
• Redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fans with
color coded touch points for ease of identification/removal.
• Dell ReadyRails for ecient installation of the switch into data
center cabinets.
The S3048-ON also supports Dell Networking’s Embedded
Open Automation Framework, which provides advanced
network automation and virtualization capabilities for virtual
data center environments. Embedded Open Automation
Framework is a suite of network management apps that
can be used together or independently to provide a
network that is flexible, available and manageable while
helping to reduce operational expenses.
Key applications
• High-density 1000BASE-T ToR server aggregation in high-
performance data centers environments
• Active Fabric™ designs with the S- or Z-Series core
switch to create a two tier, 1/10/40GbE data center
network architecture
• Enterprise, Web 2.0 and cloud service providers’ data center
networks for ToR applications
• High-performance SDN/OpenFlow 1.3 enabled with ability
to inter-operate with industry standard OpenFlow controllers
Key features
• Four SFP+ 10GbE ports for maximum flexibility and
investment protection
• I/O panel to PSU airflow or PSU to I/O panel airflow
• Redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fans
• Supports ONIE for zero-touch installation of alternate
network operating systems
• Open Networking oers choice of OS, such as Dell
Networking OS9.X for inherent stability and feature
richness, or the flexibility of a third-part OS (such as
Cumulus Linux)
• VRF-lite enables sharing of networking infrastructure and
provides L3 trac isolation across tenants (including
support for multicast and IPv6 routing)
• Enhanced automation capabilities
(puppet agent, REST API extensions)
• Supports jumbo frames for high-end performance in
virtualized environments and IP storage/server communication
• Increase VM Mobility region by stretching L2 VLAN within
or across two DCs with unique VLT capabilities like Routed
VLT, VLT Proxy Gateway
• User port stacking support for up to six units managed as
one logical device
• Embedded Open Automation Framework adds VM
awareness automated configuration and provisioning
capabilities to simplify the management of virtual
network environments
