Overview

S-Series Overview

S-Series Access Switches: Delivering Core Resiliency to the Network Edge

The Force10 S-Series is a family of resilient, small form factor Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches designed to exceed requirements for enterprises and service providers alike. S-Series switches complement the resiliency and density of the Force10 E-Series, providing a scalable, high performance end-to-end network solution.

Key Enterprise Applications

Line-rate GbE and 10 GbE rack switches for the most demanding data center, storage or compute facility
PoE for wiring closets that require core resiliency and high availability for VoIP and wireless connectivity

Key Service Provider Applications

Layer 2 small form factor POP interconnect leveraging 10 GbE for cost-effective metro or intra-POP transport
Scalable multi tenant unit (MTU) core or distribution switch
