Key Findings - Dell Networking S6000 Test Report

1.0 Key Findings


Dell Networking S6000 10/40 GbE switch proved switching fabric support for
scalability for 10,000 desktop Virtual Data Infrastructure (VDI) sessions and target
ARP table address capacity of 20,000

As spine in a leaf/spine test topology, the S6000 delivers excellent performance and
services that support quality end-user experience in VDI environment

High-performance, top-of rack/end-of-row S6000 switch exhibits high degree of
scalability by easily transmitting traffic at line rate with low latency and no loss

S6000 was not a limitation to scalability in a VDI environment; VMware Horizon View
server CPU and memory resources were limitations

Proprietary Verified Virtual Link Trunking (VLT) protocol provides S6000 with
Layer 2 multipath redundancy that maximizes network utilization and is simpler to
configure and manage than Spanning Tree Protocol
