The Right Time for the Right Product Portfolio

Extreme Networks has developed a portfolio of data center switches capable of scaling to meet the network needs of highly virtualized data centers. Our award-winning data center product family can easily scale from stackable fixed configuration switches to high density 1GbE and 10GbE chassis-based products - offering a smooth migration to speeds far beyond the 10G limits of today. Whether deploying ToR or EoR architectures or aiming to minimize architectural complexity by reducing the number of “tiers” in a network, Extreme Networks delivers a product portfolio which enables you to meet your network objectives.

Virtualization - A Networking Problem

As server virtualization becomes more pervasive in the data center, network-level virtualization is fast becoming a requirement to support highly virtualized and cloud environments. Extreme Networks delivers highly efficient and automated network-level integration with the various industry hypervisors. Our approach, heterogeneous network-level virtualization and management supported across the data center product line, enables enterprises and hosting centers to efficiently move from the physical to the virtual world cost effectively – and with high scalability.

Extreme Networks actively participates in the development of virtualization standards. By working with initiatives such as VEPA (Virtual Ethernet Port Aggregation) Extreme Networks delivers standards-based technologies, giving customers choice and best of breed solutions.
