Networking for the future-ready data center
Dell Networking Z-Series of core/aggregation switches provide optimal flexibility, performance, density and power efficiency for your data center. Offering a range of fixed-form-factor switches, the Z-Series is designed to deliver high performance for today's demanding workloads while providing headroom for future data-center demands.
Ultimate flexibility — from density to deployment
Dell Networking Z-Series switches not only simplify manageability, they give you the flexibility to stay ahead of data needs rather than react to them.
Optimized leaf/spine architecture with Z-Series switches supports data centers of virtually any size, with up to over 100,000 servers.
Exceptionally high density with the Z9100 provides up to 128 x10/25GbE ports in a single switch — 7X density per rack unit over the Cisco Nexus 9504 Series switches.
On-demand performance
For mid-sized to enterprise data centers, pay-as-you-grow licensing or multi-rate options can mean the difference between being leading edge or falling behind. Right out of the box, Z-Series switches give you scalable performance on demand.
- Multi-rate options including 10, 25, 40, 50, or 100Gb Ethernet ports with the Z9100-ON
- Up to 6.4Tbps throughput performance with the Z9100
- Exceptional low latency delivering sub microsec latency
- User-configurable table adjustments for virtualized data-center deployments
Energy and resource efficient
Dell Networking Z-Series offers outstanding performance and is one of the most power-efficient fabric switches on the market today. The Z series switches help reduce energy costs, speed setup and improve the bottom line with:
- Up to one-third the power consumption of comparable leading switches
- Up to 7x faster deployment with Active Fabric Manager over traditional deployment methods
- Tool-less enterprise ReadyRails for fast, easy installation
