Within the CloudEngine S6730-H-V2 series, the S6730-H24X6C-V2 distinguishes itself with its specific port configuration and performance metrics. Compared to models like the S6730-H48X6C-V2, which offers 48 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports, the S6730-H24X6C-V2 provides a more compact configuration with 24 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports, making it ideal for environments that require fewer access ports but still demand high-speed uplink capabilities.
The S6730-H48X6C-V2, on the other hand, may be more suitable for larger deployments requiring a higher density of 10G ports. However, both models share the same 6 x 40/100GE uplink ports, ensuring consistent uplink performance across the series. Choosing between these models largely depends on the specific port density and scalability needs of the deployment scenario.
Additionally, the power consumption of the S6730-H24X6C-V2 is slightly lower than its larger counterpart, which can be an important factor for energy-conscious organizations. Both models, however, share similar features such as dual power modules, iStack support, VXLAN functionality, and advanced security options, making them versatile choices for a range of enterprise network applications.
