Aggregation Switching Products
Particularly in the large enterprise network and in service-provider environments, there is the middle layer between core and edge (or sometimes referred to as ‘access’) which is called the aggregation layer.
In the aggregation layer, aggregation switches are required to play an important role of aggregating traffic from large number of edge switches to be forwarded to the core switches as well as receiving traffic from core to distribute towards edge switches. The aggregation switches need to process packets between core and edge switches, and must be secure, reliable and have simplified management.
BlackDiamond® series switches, Summit® X650 and Summit X450a switching products from Extreme Networks are designed and built to deliver these critical capabilities.
- High availability to meet toll-grade voice quality for converged networks
- Comprehensive security to help protect company information and to help ensure availability under attack
- Simplified management to reduce the total cost of ownership
- Non blocking gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet switching with rich Quality of Service to provide the application level performance
- Carrier-grade highly reliable hardware, robust modular operating system and redundant protocols to help ensure five-9s availability
- Same operating system to provide the consistent manageability throughout the network
