The Oracle Switch ES1-24, a part of
Oracle’s 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch
portfolio, is designed specifically as a topof-rack (ToR) server access switch with
comprehensive Layer 2 and 3 features and
wire-speed switching for high performance.
In a compact half-width 1U with 20 RJ45 ports of 1/10GBase-T and 4 ports of
1/10 GbE SFP+, it enables easy migration from a 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps
infrastructure by reusing existing copper cabling. It provides for redundant
architecture in 1U rack space using two adjacent units and rapid failover with
logical link aggregation capability.

KEY BENEFITS
 Extension of Oracle 10 Gigabit Ethernet
switch portfolio with high performance,
comprehensive features, and compelling
economics for Oracle servers and
storage
Overview
Because 10 Gigabit Ethernet provides improvements in application performance with higher
bandwidth, scaling, and reliability, it has become the interconnect choice in data centers. The
Oracle Switch ES1-24 is an enterprise-class and full-featured data center 1/10 Gigabit
Ethernet switch that delivers high performance, supports layer 2/3, with auto-negotiating
1/10GBase-T ports with standard RJ45 connectors and SFP+ uplink ports. It is ideal for a
high-availability configuration of server and storage clustering. The switch supports redundant
hot-swappable power and cooling and comes in both front-to-rear and rear-to-front airflow
direction and therefore can be positioned in server, storage, and network racks. The switch
enables coexistence and seamless migration from existing Gigabit Ethernet-based servers and
storage to 10 Gigabit Ethernet-based high-performance servers and storage, enabling
transition to virtualized environments.
 Ideal for data center mission-critical
applications: High-availability top-of-rack
redundant configuration with two
switches in 1U space and rapid failover
 Reduced cost and complexity: Reuse
existing copper cabling while migrating
from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps
 Simple and automated management
