Edge Switching Products

Extreme Networks Tames the Chaos

Application evolution happens at the edge of the network. In the enterprise network architecture, the role of edge switches becomes more important to support a variety of applications as well as the proliferation of network-enabled devices. The edge switches are required to support emerging technologies and its fluctuation on day to day basis without increasing the management burden to maintain the application performance.


  • 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
  • Universal connectivity to support variety of applications and devices
  • Simplified management to reduce the total cost of ownership
  • Non blocking gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet switching with rich Quality of Service to help ensure 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 consistent manageability throughout the network
