D-Link Announces 10-Gigabit Ethernet L2/L3 Aggregation Switch Series
New D-Link® DXS-3600 Product Family Delivers High Performance, Reliability and Energy Savings for Enterprise, Campus and Data Center Networks
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Feb. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- D-Link today announced the DXS-3600 series - a family of 10-Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2 and Layer 3 managed aggregation switches. The D-Link(®) DXS-3600-16S and DXS-3600-32S are compact, high-performance switches with very low latency, making them ideal, cost effective solutions for enterprise and education network environments, as well as top-of-rack (ToR) deployment in data centers.

"Today's businesses and educational organizations face ever-increasing needs to expand bandwidth, performance, switching capacity, overall reliability, and energy savings," said Steven Olen, director of product marketing, D-Link Systems, Inc. "The DXS-3600 series is designed to meet all of these market needs and deliver a cost effective solution for a range of network environments including small to medium sized businesses, enterprise environments, data centers, school campuses, healthcare facilities, and government organizations."
The DXS-3600-16S and DXS-3600-32S support eight and 24 fixed 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports respectively, with the option to add more ports using an expansion module. The expansion modules provide extra 1000BASE-T ports, 10-Gigabit SFP+ ports, 40-Gigabit QSFP+ uplinks, or low cost 10GBASE-T interfaces for a wide range of applications.
The DXS-3600 switches support Data Center Bridging protocols to help prevent data loss during network congestion, and feature selectable store-and-forward, or cut-through switching modes to reduce network latency. The switches also utilize two hot-swappable power modules for 1+1 power redundancy and load sharing, and three hot-swappable smart fans for redundancy. The smart fans monitor and detect temperature changes and react accordingly by utilizing different fan speeds for different temperatures.
