Target Markets/Applications
The PowerConnect 6000 Series is designed for customers who require high-performance Layer 3 connectivity to resources like high-speed network backbones and servers, or for customers who need LAN routing at the edge of the network. Additionally, these routing switches are ideal for customers with growing networks because of their support of copper and fiber Gigabit Ethernet media to help future proof the network topology.
•Traffic Aggregation to Network Backbone: The PowerConnect
6024F can form a Gigabit Ethernet aggregation layer/backbone via its SFP fiber slots and the appropriate transceivers (1000SX or 1000LX). Also, seven Gigabit Ethernet aggregated links (with up to 7 member ports each) can be created to offer multi-Gigabit link bandwidth as well as automatic fail-over in the case of a failed link within the aggregation group.
•Cost-Effective Gigabit Ethernet Datacenter Switch: Up to 23 Gigabit- enabled servers can be connected to the PowerConnect 6024 in the datacenter to support Gigabit connectivity between datacenter servers and the network core. Alternatively, 20 servers can be connected to a PowerConnect 6024 while a trunk that supports 4 Gbps can be established as the uplink to the core or backbone. Other combinations for each switch are also possible depending upon individual datacenter needs.
•Mini-Core / Branch Office Solution: Customers needing a cost effective solution for a branch office or mini-core Layer 3 application can find the features they are looking for in the PowerConnect 6024/6024F. The PowerConnect 6000 series can easily accommodate the routing needs of over 300 end stations. With dual integrated hot- swappable power supplies and cooling fans in a 1U chassis, these switches provide high availability in a small form factor. The flexible port configuration allows for high speed Gigabit Ethernet backbone and server connectivity. Users can enable static routes or Layer 3 routing protocols like RIP v1/v2, and OSPF v1/v2. Advanced Quality of Service features can also be deployed to shape network traffic and groom bandwidth.
