The hardware components of the Dell AI fabric solution design have been purpose-built for the AI world. The hardware product family is light, high-performing, efficient, and based on open-standards. These characteristics make a Dell end-to-end solution design a good fit for unique workloads that require high-performance, efficiency, and easy-to-manage deployments.
Dell PowerSwitch
The Dell PowerSwitch portfolio is the infrastructure that delivers the AI solution. In this whitepaper, the Z9864F, Z9664F-ON and Z9432F-ON are the primary 800GbE and 400GbE switches respectively. With up to 51.2 Terabits per second (Tbps) switching capacity, these three switches are purpose-built for any kind of AI workload.
Customers looking for a high-performance, scalable, and lossless fabric for their AI environment should consider the Dell Z-Series platform.
The OOB fabric connections are all 1GbE copper based RJ45 connections. In this guide the PowerSwitch N3248TE is being used as the OOB management switch.
