Extreme Networks delivers highly versatile network performance & new design options for Enterprise campuses and virtualised data centres

Summit X460 family delivers versatility from the wiring closet to the data centre with 80 Gbps stacking performance up to 100m, PoE Plus and support for mobility and data centre

Extreme Networks today launched a new family of Gigabit Ethernet fixed switching solutions that feature the versatility and performance required for building scalable converged campus networks and virtualised data centres.

IT managers continue to face the challenge of staying under budget while serving a growing and diverse base of applications and mobile users, emerging devices and networked services, while at the same time, taking on convergence and data centre virtualisation initiatives. These events combine to shift the way communications, servers, storage, and enterprise applications are architected and deployed.

To help meet these challenges, Extreme Networks has introduced the Summit® X460 family of Gigabit switches. These purpose-built network solutions, featuring the ExtremeXOS® operating system, deliver superior versatility for network designs, and application and convergence support due to their leading performance, virtual chassis capabilities--featuring 80 Gbps stacking performance up to a distance of 100 metres--and integrated PoE Plus.
