Dell PowerSwitch S5248F-ON 48-Port 25GbE Open Networking Switch

The Dell PowerSwitch S5248F-ON is a 48-port 25 Gigabit Ethernet top-of-rack (ToR) switch purpose-built for open networking deployments in data center environments. Designed to run Dell's open networking OS (based on upstream Linux distributions), it provides a flexible, standards-based alternative to proprietary switching platforms while maintaining enterprise-grade performance and reliability.

The S5248F-ON supports line-rate switching across all 48×25GbE ports, with two additional 100GbE QSFP28 uplink ports for high-speed spine connectivity in leaf-spine fabric architectures. The switch delivers up to 2.4 Tbps aggregate throughput and supports advanced features including VLAN, LACP, ECMP routing, and BFD for resilient data center fabrics. Its compact form factor and power efficiency make it ideal for dense hyperscale-style deployments where operational flexibility and cost efficiency are priorities.

The platform is widely deployed across EMEA data centers and has emerged as a preferred choice for GCC hyperscale infrastructure builds, supporting both North-South and East-West traffic patterns in modern cloud and AI training workloads.

Ideal for

• Leaf-spine fabric deployments in hyperscale data centers and cloud infrastructure
• Top-of-rack switching for high-density compute clusters and GPU server farms
• Open networking environments requiring non-proprietary OS and API standardization
• Multi-tenant cloud platforms requiring VLAN segmentation and advanced QoS
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters with east-west communication demands
• AI/ML training infrastructure requiring consistent low-latency 25GbE access
