Extreme Networks Energy Savings Estimator

While others have touted their products’ energy efficiency in recent days, testing by a third-party laboratory has verified that the BlackDiamond® 8810 switch consumes roughly half the energy used by competing switches from Cisco. And in a head-to-head comparison, the Extreme Networks solution proved more efficient than Nortel as well.*

That translates into bottom-line savings in energy and budget for network managers. And with its high-performance, intelligent design, the BlackDiamond 8810 doesn’t compromise on critical features required for highly available converged networks.

What is Green?

  • Energy efficient
  • Two-tier vs. three-tier
  • Easier to manage
  • Easier to reuse and recycle
  • Better for the environment
  • Better for your budget

For example, the ExtremeXOS® modular operating system provides advanced traffic management functions for Quality of Service (QoS) and integrated security functionality. Available in Extreme Networks® products from the edge to the core, ExtremeXOS provides versatile, feature-rich performance for the convergence of voice, video and data in a single network.

In addition, the Extreme Networks Universal Port framework, available on BlackDiamond series and some Summit series products, allows you to automatically power down non-essential endpoints during off hours to save 60% or more of the energy consumed by PoE-powered IP phones and other devices.
