Enterprise IT managers have limited time or resources to deal with overly complex, specialized network infrastructure solutions. 8000 Series switches from Extreme Networks simplify the architecture. Purpose-built core, aggregation, edge and data center modules can meet your chassis needs across the network. Traditional three-tier architectures can be replaced with a streamlined two-tier network that reduces management overhead, operational complexity, and capital expenditures.

8000 Series switches deliver voice-class availability, high-density Power over Ethernet (PoE), Gigabit Ethernet, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet wherever it’s needed. They serve well as a high-performance enterprise core. The non-blocking ports interconnect thousands of servers for high-performance cluster computing (HPCC) and data center applications. A full range of Layers 2 – 4 features for IPv4 and IPv6 allow the aggregation of high-speed connections, eliminating bottlenecks between edge and core. The 8000 Series fits well at the edge of the most demanding enterprises switching Voice-over-IP (VoIP), video, wireless, and data traffic.
