Dell PowerConnect Switches Valuable Features
Their support has been excellent, and it has been quite stable and easy to set up.
View full review »Dell PowerConnect Switches have a VTL feature similar to Cisco's VSS. With VTL, using this technology, you can cluster two switches together to increase redundancy in the environment.
We have these switches installed in an environment with hardware from many other vendors, and so far, so good.

The most valuable feature of Dell PowerConnect Switches for me is the throughput. I also like that the product has more compatibility with Dell infrastructure, especially with EMC and new generation Dell servers. Dell PowerConnect Switches can also easily integrate with Dell servers, and this is another pro.

Dell PowerConnect Switches are very easy to configure with the GUI. Dell supports the solution even though it has been discontinued.
Dell has done a good job in the PowerConnect series and the one I have Power over Ethernet. If I have a remote device that needs power, I can perform the switch without having to stretch for cables.

There are many valuable features - the cost was the best we found with comparable products. The technology is good and the interface is simple. We haven't had any bugs, disconnections or delays. It's good because we use it for streaming videos and things like that. There were no issues during implementation and we haven't had any issues in the time we've been using the product.
The most valuable features are the jumbo frames and the stacking.
Proactive care is the highest level of support contract that you can have.
Everything from A to Z is better managed with Dell Support.

Very good value. This switch has a fairly easy to use web interface. It has nice features such as VLAN, config management, and other advanced networking features. I use a 6248 as my main switch. It handles all the traffic flawlessly and has never needed to be reset in the 4 years it has been on. My whole network consists of PowerConnect switches. They do everything I need them to.

We have used these switches for data access the LAN. We have also used the switches for power over ethernet devices in the LAN. Also, we have attached cameras for IT surveillance.
We have found that in our market the price is very good for our customers. When the price is competitive, the customers tend to choose the cheaper brand and then look at the features. So having a competitive price is a plus.

An easy command to turn everything off: clean, only setting jumbo frame. When we ran EqualLogic SANs, the old PowerConnect was self-configuring the ports that were connected to the EQ box.
