All PowerConnect blade switches, except for the original PC-M8024, can be stacked. To stack the new PC-M8024-k switch the switches need to run firmware version 4.2 or higher. [27] In principle one can only stack switches of the same family; thus stacking multiple PCM6220's together or several PCM8024-k.
It is a small (1U) switch with a high port-density and can be used as distribution or (collapsed)core switch for campus networks and for use in the datacenter it offers features such as loss-less Ethernet for iSCSI and FCoE, data center bridging (DCB) and iSCSI Auto-configure [19] The PCT8100 series is a "multi-layer" switch which can be used ...
The Broadcom-based multi-layer switches offer a wide range of layer-2 and layer-3 options, and new features are added all the time. Until version 4.2 it wasn't possible to stack multiple 10 Gb switches and converged Ethernet (FCoE) capabilities for the 10 Gb switches was added in firmware version 4.1
DNOS or Dell Networking Operating System is a network operating system running on switches from Dell Networking.It is derived from either the PowerConnect OS (DNOS 6.x) or Force10 OS/FTOS (DNOS 9.x) and will be made available for the 10G and faster Dell Networking S-series switches, the Z-series 40G core switches and DNOS6 is available for the N-series switches.
Force10 switches support a bare metal provisioning option: if you need to deploy a number of similar switches you can put both (desired/latest) firmware release and standard user-specific configuration on a USB key: when deploying the switches you can insert the USB key, power-up the switch and it will automatically load the correct firmware ...
In March 2012 Dell introduced their 12th generation servers based on Intel Xeon. There are two basic lines: 620 and 720. [ 125 ] On the 720 line, Dell currently offers two rack-model servers: the Poweredge R720 [ 126 ] and the R720XD [ 127 ] — where the latter offers the option to extend the system to up to 26 internal disks.

Stacking resiliency. Multiple switches can have ways to bypass a “down” switch in a stack, thus allowing the remaining units to function as a stack even with a failed or removed unit. Layer 3 redundancy. Some stackable architectures allow for continued Layer 3 routing if there is a “down” switch in a stack.
