Dell PowerConnect Switches Primary Use Case
We are a reseller for Dell. We wanted to evaluate the product to see if it suits some of the customer requirements. If it does, we will craft it in the form of a solution, and we will sell it to customers. So, we are still evaluating it.
It is currently in our testing environment. We wanted to use spine-leaf architecture, and that's the reason we are using this product. We are doing a proof of concept for the spine-leaf architecture, and we are using Dell switches for that.
We are not using OS10; we are using SONiC.
View full review »We use the solution in the data center. It's a robust solution that is stable and user-friendly. The comma blind is easy and provides the scalability required for data centers. We use it to integrate with other hypervisors. It is so user-friendly that it can easily incorporate VxRail and support customers.

Dell PowerConnect Switches is a solution used by the cabinet of ministers in governmental structures, businesses, and other national agencies for television and broadcasting. Dell PowerConnect Switches can be considered a very compatible product with Cisco products. With the product's documents having documents available for Dell PowerConnect Switches, you can prepare something similar to Cisco. The price of Dell PowerConnect Switches is very competitive since there may be no proper variety of products like Cisco has when it comes to Dell.

IT Manager at a real estate/law firm with 1-10 employees
We are a small operation and don't have a so-called data center. Our requirements are not complex and we really just need a firewall for downloading material. We use 48 port units. The switches have that capability and give us enough flexibility for when the time comes to really start segregating things. The product is used extensively but it doesn't require much maintenance. I'm an IT manager and we're Dell customers.
We use the solution in our data center.

I've always used them as iSCSI only switches; they don't run anything else other than pure iSCSI traffic.
