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
