The S6100-ON is purpose-built for applications in high-performance data center and computing environments. Leveraging a non-blocking switching architecture, the S6100-ON delivers line-rate L2 and L3 forwarding capacity to maximize network performance. The compact design provides industry-leading density, conserving rack space while enabling denser footprints and simplifying migration to 100Gbps in the data center core. Priority-based flow control (PFC), data center bridge exchange (DCBX) and enhanced transmission selection (ETS) make the S6100-ON ideally suited for DCB environments. In addition, the S6100-ON incorporates multiple architectural features that optimize data center network flexibility, efficiency and availability, including redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fans.
