Networking expertise — Dell PowerSwitch
Storage networks, spine-leaf fabrics and multicloud connectivity: on Dell PowerSwitch we design and deploy the network that connects your data to your applications — on-premises and in the cloud.
The network is the nervous system of your data
The fastest storage in the world is worthless behind a saturated network. SAN, NAS, hyperconverged clusters, AI compute farms: all of these platforms depend on a low-latency, lossless, documented network fabric. We design and deploy it on Dell PowerSwitch.
-
Storage fabricsDedicated SAN and NAS networks — iSCSI, NFS, SMB — with end-to-end redundancy, sized for your peak throughput, not the average.
-
Spine-leaf topologiesShort, predictable paths between every node, ready for horizontal scale — the same foundation that carries our AI compute farms.
-
Multicloud connectivitySecure interconnects between your sites and public clouds — your data perimeter stays coherent wherever the workloads run.
A fabric designed, deployed and documented
Network architecture
Flow mapping, topology selection, addressing and segmentation plans — validated with your security and storage teams before the first purchase order.
Deployment and configuration
Dell PowerSwitch installation, fabric configuration, takeover of existing VLANs and a staged cutover — with no downtime window imposed on production.
Operations and documentation
Up-to-date diagrams, versioned configurations and operating procedures — your teams know exactly what runs, where, and why.
A network designed for the data it carries
A data centre network is not a campus network. East-west flows — between servers, between storage nodes, between GPUs — vastly outweigh north-south traffic. That is why we always start from the workloads:
-
For storageStable latency and zero loss — a dropped packet on an iSCSI network is a transaction left waiting. Queues, MTU and flow control are configured accordingly.
-
For virtualization and HCIGuaranteed bandwidth for live migration, rebuilds and replication — the operations that saturate an undersized network at the worst possible moment.
-
For AIHigh-density 100/400 GbE fabrics where every link counts: distributed training moves at the pace of the slowest node.
A predictable network is a network you forget about.
Our fabrics fade into the background: no mystery bottleneck, no unknown port, no stale diagram.
Is your network still keeping up with your data?
Let’s talk throughput, topologies and timelines — a 20-minute call is enough to frame the need.
