Dell PowerConnect 8000 Series

The Dell PowerConnect 8000 Series is a family consisting of two switch models: PowerConnect 8024 and PowerConnect 8024F. These switches are 24-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Layer 3 switches, with four Combo Ports for mixed cabling environments. The PowerConnect 8000 Series are Dells first all 10 Gigabit 1U Ethernet products. The switches are designed for utilization in a variety of environments such as 10Gb Top-of-Rack switching, 10Gb Aggregation, and Switch Core applications in small to medium data centers.

Data center performance

The PowerConnect 8000 Series are high density 10Gb Ethernet switches designed for data center, aggregation, and unified fabric deployments requiring high throughput and availability. These high density 24-port 10Gb switches are ready for converged Ethernet environments supporting virtualization, iSCSI storage, and 10Gb traffic aggregation. The 8000 Series also provides full routing features in a compact 1U form factor with data center friendly front-to-rear cooling.

High availability
The PowerConnect 8000 Series is designed to be highly available with dual internal hot-swap power supplies, and removable hot-swap fan modules. These switches also incorporate dual firmware images to allow for image promotions or image redundancy in a network.

Flexible management
PowerConnect switches provide numerous management options including an industry-standard CLI, remote management using the embedded web server, and support for SNMP-based management applications including Dell OpenManage Network Manager. The web GUI for PowerConnect switches provides very robust management with comparable control to the commandline environment, allowing the administrator to choose the best method of interacting with the switch.

Unified fabric ready

The PowerConnect 8000 Series are one of the key components in Dell Unified Fabric Data Center solutions, and support converged fabric requirements such as Priority Flow Control (802.1Qbb), iSCSI Optimization, and 10Gb wire speed performance on all ports. iSCSI traffic can also be monitored at the fabric level, allowing the administrator to track active iSCSI sessions.

Lifetime Warranty*
Select PowerConnect switches are backed by an industry-leading, lifetime warranty which guarantees Basic Hardware Service (repair or replacement) for life. Details at Dell.com/LifetimeWarranty

Energy efficient
The PowerConnect 8000 Series is designed to be easy on budgets as well as the environment. Dell designed the PowerConnect 8000 Series for energy savings from the power cord to the ports, starting with redundant power supplies that can operate efficiently in all modes. We then added variable speed fans that adjust their speed for their environment through multiple temperature monitors. We also included power efficient 10GBASE-T ports that can reduce power draw by as much as 20%* for short cable runs, and then provided network administrators with multiple ways to manage and monitor these power savings features via command line interface (CLI), web GUI, and SNMP.
