Answering the demand of the New Data Center:
As Managed Hosting and Enterprise Data Centers deploy large scale virtual and cloud environments, demand has grown for a high performance physical data center infrastructure capable of supporting the rapid creation of numerous virtual machines in the network. To answer that demand, Extreme Networks introduces two new additions to our data center switch product family.
Introducing the future:
The stackable top-of-rack
Summit X480
and the
BlackDiamond 8900-xl series
modules (for the BlackDiamond 8800 series chassis) enable 1GbE and 10GbE physical infrastructures to scale to accommodate up to 100,000’s of virtual machines. These new scalable infrastructure products will complement, and can upgrade – with the following capabilities – existing data center implementations:
- Blade upgrades for existing chassis
- Stackability across data center fixed configuration product families
- Consistent network-level virtualization
- Consistent OS, automation and customization
