High-performance, high-density open networking 400GbE multi-rate aggregation switch

Tổng quan

Dell PowerSwitch Z9664F-ON 100/400GbE fixed switch comprises Dell Technologies’ latest disaggregated hardware and software data center networking solutions, providing state-of-the-art, high-density 100/400GbE ports and a broad range of functionality to meet the growing demands of today’s data center environment. This innovative, next-generation open networking high-density aggregation switch offers optimum flexibility and costeffectiveness for the web 2.0, edge, large enterprises, mid-market and cloud service providers with demanding compute and storage traffic environments.

The compact PowerSwitch Z9664F-ON provides highdensity of either 64 ports of 400GbE in QSFP56-DD form factor or 256 ports of 100GbE in a 2RU design, and can be used as a 10/25/40/50/100/200 switch via breakout cables for a maximum of 256 ports.

Using industry-leading hardware and a choice of Dell SmartFabric OS10 or select 3rd party network operating systems and tools, the Z9664F-ON switch incorporates multiple architectural features that optimize data center network flexibility, efficiency and availability, including IO panel to PSU and PSU to IO panel airflow for hot/ cold aisle environments, redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fans and delivers non-blocking performance for workloads sensitive to packet loss. The compact Z9664FON model provides multi-rate speed, enabling denser footprints and simplifying migration to 400Gbps.

Priority-based flow control (PFC), data center bridge exchange (DCBX) and enhanced transmission selection (ETS) make the Z9664F-ON ideally suited for DCB environments.

The Dell PowerSwitch Z9664F-ON switch supports the open source Open Network Install Environment (ONIE) for zero touch installation of Dell SmartFabric OS10 networking operating system, Enterprise SONiC Distribution by Dell Technologies* as well as of alternative network operating systems.
