EXTREME NETWORKS 16504T

The Extreme Networks Summit X440 series switches extend the intelligence and resiliency of the ExtremeXOS network operating system to the converged access edge, enabling fine grained Quality of Service (QoS), stacking, high availability features and identity aware security in a compact, cost effective switch.

Standards-based PoE/PoE+ support (802.3af / 802.3at) allows the Summit X440 series to support the large-scale rollout of converged network devices such as IP telephones, wireless access points as well as physical security devices such as video cameras.

With high density, low latency, line rate 10/100/1000 Ethernet, dedicated 10 Gbps stacking ports, available redundant power supplies, hardware-based IP support (IPv4 and IPv6) and rich Layer 2 to Layer 4 functionality in a compact, 1RU form factor, the Summit X440 also provides effective enterprise class network access.

• Multiple network edge authentication support with multiple endpoints per port

Software Defined Networking (SDN)

ExtremeXOS implementations of OpenFlow APIs allow an external OpenFlow-based SDN controller to access and control the forwarding plane of ExtremeXOS network devices. ExtremeXOS-based switches offer a programming interface through OpenFlow to enable high degree of automation in provisioning network services for many upper layer business critical applications running the OpenFlow-based SDN controller.

Extreme XOS-based switches also allow for integration with the OpenStack open source cloud computing platform for public and private clouds through the Extreme Networks Quantum plugin. The plugin provides a scalable, automated, rich API- driven system that enables networking-as-a-service model managing data center interconnect solutions and large multi-tenant networks.

Audio Video Bridging (AVB)

ExtremeXOS® supports IEEE Audio Video Bridging (AVB) standards to enable reliable real-time audio and video transmissions over Ethernet, for high-definition and time-sensitive multimedia streams with assigned Quality of Service (QoS). ExtremeXOS leverages AVB to identify and reserve network resources for A/V traffic streams and supports synchronous streaming capabilities to ensure reliable and high-quality A/V transmissions over Ethernet. AVB also enables time sensitive multimedia streams to be sent over the Ethernet network with low latency and provides service quality for high definition information and entertainment applications.
