Dell S6000 end-of-life

Dell EMC PowerSwitch S6000 / S6000-ON

Past end of support (Jul 31, 2022)

The S6000 and S6000-ON were 32-port 40GbE spine/aggregation switches in Dell's PowerSwitch S-Series, once common in enterprise and government data-center core/spine layers running OS9. Dell's official knowledge-base article on OS9's end of life lists an end-of-sale date of 2017-07-31 and end of standard support on 2022-07-31, both now well in the past for this platform.

Frequently asked

When is the Dell S6000 end of life?
Dell's published notice sets End-of-Sale for the S6000 at Jul 31, 2017. The published end-of-support date is Jul 31, 2022, after which vendor support ends. It is past its published support window — plan the refresh now.
What replaces the Dell S6000?
Dell has not named a one-for-one replacement in the notice this page is built from. Uniqcli can recommend and quote the current equivalent for the S6000, with TAA country-of-origin screening on request.
Can I still buy or get support for the S6000?
New units are no longer sold by Dell after the End-of-Sale date; remaining channel stock and refurbished units are the only sources. Vendor support has ended (Jul 31, 2022), so security fixes and hardware replacement from Dell are no longer available. For a fleet still running this hardware, the practical next step is a refresh plan — request a quote and we will price the current replacement.
