Dell Connectrix Switch DS-6600B
Base price
Description
Scalability from eight to 128 ports
There are five switch models in the 32Gb/s series. All models can function at 4, 8, 16 or 32 Gb/s speeds depending on the installed optic. All switch models can be managed by Connectrix SANnav.
DS-6610B - Designed to support the SAN requirements of small-to-medium-sized environments, the Connectrix DS- 6610B is a 24-port switch that offers high performance and economy. The 1U base chassis of the DS-6610B is prepopulated with eight 16Gb/s or 32Gb/s Fibre Channel Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP+) shortwave optics. The ports on demand (PoD) kits allow expansion in 8-port increments.
DS-6620B - Designed to support the SAN requirements of medium-to large sized workgroups as well as that of large enterprises, the Connectrix DS-6620B offers forty-eight SFP+ ports and four QSFP ports in a 1U form factor. Two base models are available which have 24 active 32Gb/s or 16Gb/s ports, populated with 32Gb or 16Gb/s shortwave SFPs. QSFP ports can be used to form dense high performance ISLs with other 32Gb/s switches or directors. QSFPs can also be configured to add up to 16 additional ports. With its speed and port density the DS-6620B can be deployed in any Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN) to enable very dense fabrics in a relatively small package.
DS-6620B-V2 – Supporting up to 64-ports, this next generation DS-6620B is nearly identical to the current DS-6620B. While both versions offer the same key features and functionalities, there are some differences such as the requirement for FOS 9.0+, the DS-6620B-V2 supports 4Gb/s only on F-port to host/target connections and only has one LED per QSFP port. The number and type of ports is the same as the DS-6620B listed above. Like the DS-6620B, this switch is ideal for medium to large enterprises.
DS-6630B – This model has a total of 128 ports. There are 96 standard SFP 32Gb/s capable ports and eight Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP) ports which support an additional 32 ports. The DS-6630B will be a good choice for mid- size customers who aren’t quite ready to make the added investment into a 4-slot director class product. The DS-6630B will also be a good fit for large enterprise class customers who need more ports at the edge, but don’t necessarily need a director class product at the edge of a large SAN.
DS-6630B-V2 – Supporting up to 128-ports, this next generation DS-6630B is nearly identical to the current DS-6630B. While both versions offer the same key features and functionalities, there are some differences such as the requirement for FOS 9.0+, the DS-6630B-V2 supports 4Gb/s only on F-port to host/target and it has no restrictions for topology or for encryption/compression unlike the original DS-6630B. The number and type of ports is the same as the DS-6630B listed above. Like the DS-6630B, this switch is ideal large enterprise environments.

Fibre Channel Ports |
DS-6610B The DS-6610B base chassis models includes eight active 32Gb/s capable ports that are populated with eight 16Gb/s SFPs or eight 32Gb/s SFPs. The 8-port port-on-demand (PoD) models allow the switch to support additional 16 ports reaching a maximum of 24 ports. The other DS-6610B model which ends in “-EP” comes fully populated with 24 16Gb/s SFPs and includes the Enterprise Package.
DS-6610B-L Series DS-6610B-L models are functionally equivalent to the DS-6610B switches above, however; the “-L” models include a unique Limited Lifetime Warranty. The Limited Lifetime Warranty remains in effect until the end of support life for the DS-6610B-L -switch. The DS-6610B-L switches also include an “-EP” fully populated with 24 32Gb/s SFPs and the Enterprise Package
DS-6620B and DS-6620B-V2 The DS-6620B and DS-6620B-V2 feature 48 Fibre Channel SFP+ ports and 4 QSFP ports. There are two base models which have 24 active 32Gb/s or 16Gb/s ports, populated with 32Gb or 16Gb/s shortwave SFPs. The Ports on Demand (PoD) license activates 12 additional ports and includes 12 shortwave SFPs. The QSFP Ports On Demand license activates the four QSFP ports and contains four shortwave QSFPs. The enterprise switch model fully populates the SFP+ ports with forty-eight shortwave SFPs and comes fully licensed with the Enterprise Bundle (Fabric Watch, Trunking, Performance Monitoring, Extended Fabric, Fabric Vision).
DS-6630B and DS-6630B-V2 The DS-6630B and DS-6630B-V2 switch models supports up to 128 ports. There are 96 standard SFP 32Gb/s capable ports and eight Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP) ports which support an additional 32 ports. |
