Open Networking means unprecedented choice and capability

Why Open Networking?

Investment Protection

Open Architecture

Re-purpose HW & SW

$ Lower TCO

Array of Choices

Several options to choose the right OS for

your workload

HW can be replaced to take advantage of merchant

silicon inventions keeping the same SW. SW can be

replaced keeping the same HW.

Opportunity to standardize on HW not requiring fork-lift

upgrade

Reduced CapEx and OpEx compared to traditional

Incumbent infrastructure

A scale-out leaf-spine software-defined

architecture instead of 3-tier traditional networks

Open and agile scale-out deployment to address

future growth

Dell Active Fabric Solution

• Deploy Dell Active Fabric solution for North-South and East-West traffic

• Use Dell Active Fabric Manager for simple configuration and deployment

• Cap existing chassis core, use for North-South network traffic primarily

• Deploy Dell Active Fabric solution for high performance East-West traffic

Open Networking fabrics—The un-chassis solution for the future-ready data center

• Open Networking fabric solutions

provide highly economical and

scalable alternatives to chassis

designs

• Reduce capital costs up to 70%,

operational expense by up to 30%

• Traditional chassis-based

architectures drive power, cooling,

and cost up

• N-tier architecture not optimized

for modern workloads or compute
