54-Port 10GbE/40GbE Open Network Switch D-Link DXS-5000-54S

-54-Port 10GbE/40GbE Open Network Switch which includes 48 x 10G SFP+ and 6 x 40G QSFP+.

-The D-Link DXS-5000-54S are a series of high-performance switches that feature high port density, routing, and ultra-low latency, designed to be deployed as Top-of-Rack (ToR) or leaf-spine switches in data center applications.

-Combined with ONIE support and increased cost-efficiency, the 5000 Series form a flexible long-term solution for managing and expanding data center infrastructures in a Software-defined Networking (SDN) environment.

Bare Metal and Open Networking Data Center Switches Open Networking

-The DXS-5000-54S switches support open networking, providing IT professionals with innovative third-party operating systems and software options.

-This lowers costs by separating software from hardware and increases network agility and flexibility.

-With support for standards-based tools and standards-based applications, open networking simplifies scalability and future-proofs the network.

-As bare metal switches, the DXS-5000-54S switches ship pre-loaded with Open Network Install Environment (ONIE).

-ONIE is an open source install environment that acts as an enhanced boot loader.

-This small Linux operating system allows administrators to install the network operating system(s) of choice as part of the data center provisioning process in the same manner that servers are provisioned.

-In addition, the DXS-5000-54S also offers network administrators the option to purchase a license to activate the D-Link OS on the switches.

High Availability and Reliability

-The DXS-5000-54S switches feature a modular fan and power supply design for a high availability architecture.

-The hot-swappable design means that fans and power supplies can be replaced without affecting switch operation.

-Load sharing enables both power supplies to evenly distribute load to increase reliability and lifetime.

-Meanwhile, 1+1 redundancy minimizes downtime in case of a single power supply failure.

Flexibility and Versatility

-The DXS-5000-54S switches are available in a variety of high-capacity interface combinations, including SFP+, QSFP+, SFP28, and QSFP28 ports to accommodate the scale and requirements of data centers.

-Open Network Install Environment (ONIE) support means the switches can be easily integrated in existing network ecosystems using a variety of supported third-party Network Operating Systems (NOSs) for optimal compatibility.

-Furthermore, the ability to pick and choose software based on practical requirements eliminates the restrictions imposed by vendor-locked software environments.
