Dell 12-port 10GBE SFP+ & 3-port 100GBE QSFP28 S4112F-ON.

Power

Dual AC Power Supply

The Dell 12-port 10GBE SFP+ & 3-port 100GBE QSFP28 Network Switches come equipped with a powerful and reliable dual AC power supply. This feature ensures that the switch remains operational even in the event of a power outage or failure. With two separate power supplies, the switch is able to distribute the load evenly, preventing any single point of failure.

Redundancy and High Availability

The dual AC power supply in the Dell network switches offers redundancy and high availability, which are crucial for businesses and organizations that rely heavily on their network infrastructure. In the event of a power supply failure, the second power supply seamlessly takes over, ensuring uninterrupted network connectivity. This redundancy feature eliminates any potential downtime and prevents costly disruptions in business operations.

Increased Reliability

With a dual AC power supply, the Dell network switches provide increased reliability compared to switches with a single power supply. The redundant power supply ensures that the switch remains operational even if one of the power supplies fails. This is especially important for critical applications and services that require constant connectivity and minimal downtime.

Load Balancing

The dual AC power supply in the Dell network switches also enables load balancing. By distributing the load across two power supplies, the switch can handle higher traffic volumes without overloading any single power supply. This not only improves overall performance but also extends the lifespan of the power supplies by reducing their individual workload.

Scalability

The dual AC power supply feature also provides scalability for future growth. As businesses expand and their network requirements increase, they can easily add more Dell network switches to their infrastructure without worrying about power limitations. The dual power supplies can handle the additional load, ensuring a smooth transition as the network grows.

Peace of Mind

Having a dual AC power supply in the Dell network switches gives users peace of mind. They can rest assured that their network infrastructure is protected against power-related failures or outages. This feature eliminates the need for manual intervention during power disruptions, as the switch automatically switches to the backup power supply. Users can focus on their core tasks without worrying about potential network downtime.

Ports

12-Port 10GBE SFP+

The Dell 12-port 10GBE SFP+ & 3-port 100GBE QSFP28 Network Switches are equipped with 12 ports supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) connections using Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) transceivers. These high-speed ports allow for fast data transfer rates, making them ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications and environments.

Increased Bandwidth

With 12 ports supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet, the Dell network switches provide increased bandwidth compared to switches with fewer ports or lower Ethernet speeds. This enables businesses to handle larger volumes of data and ensures smooth and efficient communication between devices within the network.

Flexibility and Future-Proofing

The 12-port configuration of the Dell network switches offers flexibility and future-proofing for businesses. With multiple ports available, users can connect a variety of devices, including servers, storage systems, and workstations, all at high speeds. This flexibility allows businesses to adapt to changing network requirements and easily expand their infrastructure as needed.

Improved Network Performance

The increased bandwidth provided by the 12-port 10GBE SFP+ configuration translates into improved network performance. With faster data transfer rates, businesses can experience reduced latency and improved response times for critical applications. This is particularly beneficial for industries that require real-time data processing, such as finance, healthcare, and online gaming.

Network Segmentation

Having 12 ports on the Dell network switches allows for effective network segmentation. Businesses can create separate virtual LANs (VLANs) to isolate traffic and enhance security. This is especially important in environments where sensitive data needs to be protected or when different departments or user groups require separate network access.

Cost Efficiency

The 12-port configuration of the Dell network switches offers cost efficiency for businesses. Instead of investing in multiple switches with fewer ports, businesses can consolidate their networking equipment by utilizing the 12 ports available on a single switch. This reduces the need for additional hardware, simplifies network management, and lowers overall operational costs.

3-Port 100GBE QSFP28

In addition to the 12-port 10GBE SFP+ configuration, the Dell network switches also feature 3 ports supporting 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) connections using Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable (QSFP28) transceivers. These high-speed ports provide an even greater level of performance and capacity for demanding network environments.

Ultra-High Speeds

With 3 ports supporting 100 Gigabit Ethernet, the Dell network switches offer ultra-high speeds for data transfer. This is particularly beneficial for industries that deal with massive amounts of data, such as cloud service providers, data centers, and high-performance computing environments. The 100 GbE ports ensure seamless and efficient communication between devices, enabling faster data processing and analysis.

Future-Proof Technology

The inclusion of 3 ports supporting 100 Gigabit Ethernet in the Dell network switches represents a future-proof investment for businesses. As network requirements continue to evolve and demand for higher speeds increases, having these 100 GbE ports ensures that businesses can handle the demands of tomorrow. This eliminates the need for immediate hardware upgrades and provides a scalable solution for the future.

Network Aggregation

The 3-port 100GBE QSFP28 configuration in the Dell network switches allows for efficient network aggregation. By combining multiple lower-speed connections into a single high-speed connection, businesses can optimize their network infrastructure and reduce complexity. This simplifies network management and improves overall performance by eliminating bottlenecks caused by limited bandwidth.

High-Density Connectivity

The 3-port 100GBE QSFP28 feature provides high-density connectivity for businesses that require a large number of high-speed connections within a limited physical space. Instead of using multiple switches and consuming valuable rack space, businesses can utilize the 3 ports on the Dell network switches to achieve higher connection density. This is particularly advantageous for data centers and other environments with limited rack space availability.

Scalability and Investment Protection

The 3-port 100GBE QSFP28 configuration also offers scalability and investment protection. With three 100 GbE ports, businesses can easily expand their network infrastructure without worrying about bandwidth limitations. This ensures that the switch can accommodate future growth and provides a cost-effective solution in the long run, as additional hardware investments can be minimized or deferred.
