D-Link 54-Port Data Centre Layer 3+ Switch with 48 SFP+ & 6 QSFP+ Ports – Bare Metal, SDN-Ready | Available at 7stores.au

Engineered for high-performance computing environments, the D-Link 54-Port Data Centre Switch is an advanced Layer 3+ bare-metal solution designed to empower data centre aggregation, cloud-scale deployments, and high-bandwidth enterprise networks. Featuring 48 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports and 6 40 Gigabit QSFP+ uplinks, this switch offers unmatched throughput, intelligent Layer 3 routing, and future-ready software-defined networking compatibility.

Built to deliver wire-speed, ultra-low latency switching, the D-Link DCS-5000 Series switch is ONIE-compatible, enabling zero-touch deployment of custom or open-source network operating systems such as Cumulus Linux, Pica8, or other SDN controllers. With OpenFlow 1.3 support, this switch seamlessly integrates into software-defined network (SDN) environments for granular traffic control, centralized orchestration, and next-gen policy enforcement.

The robust 1.44 Tbps switching capacity ensures seamless handling of east-west traffic in virtualized infrastructures, big data analytics, and hyper-converged deployments. Redundant power supplies (1+1 hot-swappable) and N+1 modular fan architecture provide maximum fault tolerance and operational uptime, meeting the stringent reliability standards of modern enterprise and cloud environments.

Whether you're building a spine-leaf architecture, extending cloud data centres, or aggregating top-of-rack switches, this D-Link 54-Port SFP+/QSFP+ switch is an ideal solution. Backed by 7stores.au, it ensures local support, expert guidance, and fast Australian-based delivery.
