D-Link A/NZ DXS-3610 Series Layer 3 Stackable 10G/100G Managed Switches

D-Link A/NZ has launched two DXS-3610 Series Layer 3 Stackable 10G/100G Managed Switches. The DXS-3610-54S houses 48 x 10Gb SFP+ ports and 6 x 40/100Gb QSFP+/QSFP28 ports, while the DXS-3610-54T provides 48 x 10GBASE-T ports and 6 x 40/100Gb QSFP+/QSFP28 ports.

The managed switches are compatible with SDN-enabled network architecture for deployment in high-performance data centre, enterprise and campus applications. Hot-swappable PSU and fan modules with load sharing capabilities help to reduce network downtime and power consumption. The switches are stackable up to 12 units per stack and ultrahigh port density counts make the DXS-3610 Series suitable for futureproofing any aggregation or core network.

The series features high-performance switching capacity of up to 2.16 Tbps with forwarding rates of up to 1607 Mpps. It also features a modular fan back-up design, providing n+1 redundancy for the system. The modular power design allows either AC or DC power sources for maximum deployment flexibility. With dual power modules, power loads are distributed seamlessly across both modules, extending the lifetime of the modules and providing redundancy.

The ability to stack up to 12 switches with up to 1200G (1.2T) of stacking bandwidth makes them suitable for data centres across a broad spectrum of businesses, including enterprise or campus applications using leaf-spine or top-of-rack (ToR) architectures. The series also has an optional licence upgrade allowing full MPLS support across the platform if required. For complex network infrastructures, D-View 7, D-Link’s centralised management platform, can be installed for in-depth network management and maintenance to optimise network availability, security and resilience.
