SmartFabric Director turns Dell EMC PowerSwitch into

smarter switches – becoming more aware of the virtual

overlay networks by VMware.

Finally the physical switches can keep pace with the

virtualization and software-defined networking layers!

Simple: Create VMware-ready physical

fabrics in 3 simple steps, a 98% reduction

in steps

Enable smarter fabrics and end-to-end management

by connecting the physical world with the virtual world

Efficient: Lower TCO by provisioning and

monitoring the right amount of network

resources – put an end to network over-

provisioning for NSX!

Open: Ability to support standard

networking protocols (gNMI, OpenConfig)

to support future NOS including SONiC
