Product Overview
The Inventec DCS6048S 1/10G is a TRUE PHY-Less, SFP+ top of rack switch ideal for data center server access. It is capable of line rate layer2/3 performance in a compact 1RU form factor. The DCS6048S switch equips with 48 1G/10G SFP+ interfaces. By utilizing existing optical fiber cabling and access speed at 1Gb/10Gb Ethernet, the DCS6048S switch offers customer maximum investment protection and a cost effective way to migrate to 10Gb Ethernet. DCS6048S dramatically reduces energy consumption and power efficiency by placing lightly loaded ports into a low power state. It also supports server wake on LAN functionality.
Inventec IN-OS
Inventec IN-OS is a Linux based operating system designed for today's data center environment. It has been purposely built to provide scalability, high availability and serviceability. It offers an extensive software suite of advanced networking features and protocols necessary to develop a variety of Ethernet and IP infrastructure systems for data center applications. OpenFlow support enables user to leverage industry's standards-based protocol to implement SDN and accelerate network innovation. ONIE offers bare-metal provisioning. The Linux OS also serves as an enabler for Open Source L2/L3 solutions.
Dynamic Buffer Management and QoS
DCS6048S delivers a latency of ~800 nanosecond in cut through mode. The On-chip packet buffer memory (9MB) with dynamic buffer management has been incorporated for maximum burst absorption. By utilizing dedicated Unicast and Multicast queues, the switch is able to provide separate scheduling structures and offered to support different applications such as IEEE 802.1Q.
