Tolly Dell Networking Data Center Switches

报告

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Next-generation open networking is a key element of enterprise data centers. High-performance and high-density are mandatory characteristics for aggregation switches. Dell Technologies offers a complete set of data center purpose built Layer 2 and Layer 3 switches that not only provide 100GbE and 400GbE ports but are also part of the open networking innovation supporting multiple Network Operating Systems (NOS) options.

 

Dell Technologies commissioned Tolly to benchmark the overall performance, latency and power consumption of its Dell PowerSwitch S5448F-ON, an aggregation switch offering up to 48x 100GbE ports and 8x 400GbE ports.

 

The PowerSwitch S5448F-ON delivered 100% line-rate RFC2544 Layer 2 and Layer 3 throughput with all 48x 100GbE ports and 8x 400GbE ports in a dual-snake topology at frame sizes of 512-bytes and greater. Tolly engineers also benchmarked Layer 2/Layer 3 latency, power consumption as well as MAC/FIB table capacities.
