All organizations should shortlist
Dell EMC, particularly those
interested in Open Networking.
Magic Quadrant for Data Center Networking
Dell EMC was an early proponent
of, and remains committed to, Open
Networking, which has driven and
altered the market, and transformed
the way many customers (and
competitors) think about data center
networking.VisionarySince 2015 !

Custom Silicon: Refers to proprietary ASIC manufactured by network vendor for use with their switches only.
Merchant Silicon: Refers to off the shelf ASICs instead of vendor developed proprietary ASIC’s Examples: Broadcom, Barefoot, Centec, Marvell, Cavium, Innovium, Mellanox, Intel etc.
In 2018, 56% of all Ethernet switches shipped were based on Merchant silicon and by 2022, it will be 63 percent of all Ethernet switches that ship
The recent announcements from three network vendors of their 400G switch is based on merchant silicon from Broadcom (Tomahawk 3)
Custom Silicon VS. Merchant Silicon

The Open Network Install Environment (ONIE) is an Open Compute Project open source initiative driven by a community to define an open "install environment" for bare metal network switches, such as existing ODM switches and the upcoming OCP Network Switch design.
ONIE enables a bare metal network switch ecosystem where end users have a choice among different network operating systems.
Founding members include Accton, Agema, Big Switch Networks, Broadcom, Cumulus Networks, Dell, Penguin Computing and Quanta. ONIE was contributed to the Open Compute Project.

Physical switch management is still a pain point
• Difficult to maintain and orchestrate
• Limited visibility/control from virtual networks
• Leads to over-provisioning and waste
SmartFabric Director turns Dell EMC PowerSwitch into
smarter switches – becoming more aware of the virtual
overlay networks by VMware.
Finally the physical switches can keep pace with the
virtualization and software-defined networking layers!
SFD solves Physical network challenges
Dell - Internal Use - Confidential21 of 78Dell Customer Communication - Confidential
Simple: Create VMware-ready physical
fabrics in 3 simple steps, a 98% reduction
in steps
Enable smarter fabrics and end-to-end management
by connecting the physical world with the virtual world
Efficient: Lower TCO by provisioning and
monitoring the right amount of network
resources – put an end to network over-
provisioning for NSX!
Open: Ability to support standard
networking protocols (gNMI, OpenConfig)
to support future NOS including SONiC
