Overview:
The Dell PowerSwitch S5224F-ON is a robust Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch engineered for modern data center workloads. With ultra-fast 24×25 GbE SFP28 ports alongside 4×100 GbE QSFP28 uplinks, this 1U powerhouse delivers exceptional bandwidth density and scalability.
Its line-rate non-blocking architecture (1.08 Tbps) suits environments demanding low latency and high throughput. Built with operational flexibility in mind, it features dual redundant PSUs, hot-swappable cooling, and selectable airflow to adapt to various rack designs and thermal layouts.
Open networking at its core, the S5224F-ON supports multiple OS options and advanced features such as VXLAN, VLT/MLAG, DCB convergence, and rich Layer 3 routing—making it an ideal building block for leaf-and-spine fabrics, virtualized networks, storage clusters, and cloud-scale deployments.
