Switches
product information
Designed for virtualized data center and cloud environments, the
Allied Telesis AT-DC2552XS switch provides high density 10GbE
and 40GbE connectivity, making it ideal for today’s big data, cloud
and optimized workloads.
This data center switch has been
designed with green functionality
in mind, resulting in lower power
consumption per port, which results in a
lower Total Cost of Ownership.
The AT-DC2552XS is a 48 x 10GbE
(SFP+) port high-bandwidth and
high density switch designed for data
center applications. It also provides four
QSFP+ 40GbE slots for “fat-pipe” high
bandwidth uplinks. This switch delivers
1280Gbps of switching fabric with ultra
low sub-μsec latency. Airow has been
optimized for front-to-back cooling for
data center environments. The unit can
also accommodate a 1+1 resilient power
supply, all of this in a very compact 1RU
unit chassis.
A smarter data center with improved
economics of IT can be achieved by
connecting servers and storage facilities
with a high-speed and low latency
network fabric that is smarter, faster,
greener, open and easy to manage.
Advanced Energy Efciency
The AT-DC2552XS provides more
than just speeds and feeds. Energy
efcient architecture and front-to-back
air-ow cooling of the AT-DC2552XS
are critical factors in optimizing data
center economics—as companies need
to balance performance with power
consumption to meet energy budgets.
High-bandwidth
As bandwidth-intensive applications
such as Web 2.0, virtualization, High-
Performance Computing (HPC) and
Network Attached Storage (NAS)
continue to proliferate within enterprise
data centers, 10 Gigabit Ethernet
(10GbE) provides a cost effective
way to increase throughput and
seamlessly deliver customer service level
agreements.
Future Proong
10GbE empowers companies to
expand application capabilities, reduce
time to solve complex nancial and
scientic applications, and quickly
respond to changing customer needs
and market conditions.
In combination with the AT-VNC10S
Network Interface Cards for servers,
it helps clients to reduce the of I/O
adapters, reducing costs and complexity.
High Availability
The AT-DC2552XS has two slots for
hot-swappable PSU’s (Power Supply
Unit) and FANs. Also SFP+ and QSFP
modules can be easily removed and
replaced with no interruption to the
network. These hot-swappable modules
guarantee the continued delivery of
essential services.
Cut-through
Cut-through switching sends the packet
to the destination as soon as the rst
packet is ready. The delay is minimal
and the packet reaches its destination
in the shortest possible time. With
cut-through mode, the AT-DC2552XS
forwards packets with a latency of
505 nanoseconds with 40Gb / 800
nanoseconds with 10Gb and is ideal use
for inter-server communication.
Air Flow
Cooling air ow has become a major
design concern in modern data centers.
The AT-DC2552XS utilizes front (PSU/
and FAN side) to back (ports side)
airow which is suitable for rack
mounting in data centers.
