Network optimized for demanding users
Easily handle exponential traffic growth with the Dell Networking 8100 Series. Implement wire-rate, high-density 10/40GbE switches designed to improve video-on-demand performance, unified communications, voice over IP (VoIP) and rich media applications for your enterprise campus, branch offices or small business networks.
Robust features
Enable non-stop networking with high-availability stacking, dual hot-swap, redundant power supplies and removable fan modules. Up to 384, 10GbE ports can be managed as a single logical unit.
Simplified network efficiency
With new tool-less ReadyRails™ kits the Dell Networking 8100 switches install in moments, reducing time and resources. Deploy stacks of switches in a fraction of the time.Make end-to-end operation efficient and responsive for your servers and storage with enhanced functionality to easily support converged fabric requirements (DCB), ready integration with Dell Storage arrays and future-ready, standards-based 10/40GbE operation for high-performance applications.
Energy efficient
Designed to be energy efficient and budget friendly, Dell Networking 8100 switches implement power-saving features that include Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) for reduced per-port power consumption, and 80 PLUS-certified power supplies to help lower overall power and cooling costs.
Flexible management
Enjoy easy management through an industry-standard command line interface (CLI), remote management via an embedded web server, third-party SNMP-based management console applications and Telnet or serial connections.
Integrated, simple to deploy platforms
A network built on the Dell Networking 8100 Series will allow you to connect servers to Ethernet-based network elements at 40GbE which helps reduce the number of uplink ports and number of other 1/10GbE switches required in the campus. This significantly increases network availability to servers, arrays and other switches while using bandwidth efficiently.

Network assessments offer a holistic view of your multivendor environment and a reference point for how your infrastructure is performing. Our experts can pinpoint and expose issues in your network using specialized software and diagnostic tools. These unbiased and insightful analytics are aggregated into comprehensive reports that can include recommendations on how to improve performance, optimize devices and remediate problems.
Network Topology Assessment
Is your network complex and coiled? Dell can perform a detailed audit and inventory of all multivendor devices in the network to provide visibility and identify configuration issues.
Network Optimization Assessment
Many networks are a multivendor patchwork of devices not running at their optimal state. We can analyze devices from all leading vendors and make recommendations to optimize the entire multivendor design, fine-tune devices and maximize performance of the holistic environment.
Application Performance Assessment
When business applications and databases begin to show signs of latency or completely shut down, we can conduct a comprehensive analysis to uncover performance issues, isolate problems and accelerate troubleshooting of the enterprise infrastructure and software applications.
VoIP Assessment
Moving to a Voice-over-IP (VoIP) solution requires the right network infrastructure to support real-time voice protocols. Simulated load testing, analysis and review can identify the next steps to building a VoIP platform or fixing issues of an existing one.
Network Security Assessment
Safeguard your network from constant attack. Let our experts examine and uncover potential vulnerabilities and provide a comprehensive security design assessment.
