Extreme Networks ExtremeSwitching X870-96x-8c Spine Switch

Overview:

High Density, Advanced 100Gb Enterprise LAN and Data Center Spine Switching

The ExtremeSwitching X870 product family are high-densit y, purpose-built 100Gb switches designed for high-performance enterprise and cloud data centers. With 32 QSFP28 ports, the X870 can support a range of interface speeds, including 10Gb, 25Gb, 40Gb, 50Gb and 100Gb, all in a compact 1RU form factor. This enables the ExtremeSwitching X870 to be flexibly deployed in either spine/leaf or high-densit y top of rack architectures. Low-latency cut-through switching and an advanced feature set make it ideal for high-performance data center applications.

X870-96x-8c – High densit y 10Gb leaf switch with 96 10Gb ports on 24 QSFP28 ports and 8 10Gb/25Gb/40Gb/50Gb/100Gb QSFP28 ports.

• 10Gb Ethernet connectivit y is supported via QSFP+ transceivers and direct attach cables with a 4 x 10Gb Ethernet configuration
• 10Gb QSFP+ Ethernet port s can be enabled to add 25Gb/40Gb/50Gb/100Gb capabilit y with a license for groups of 6 QSFP ports. Up to four licenses can be applied per system.
• 8 ports of 10Gb/25Gb/40Gb/50Gb/100Gb QSFP28 in base system

Flexible Deployment Options

The X870 can handle a wide range of high bandwidth applications, including high-density 10Gb top of rack aggregation, emerging 25Gb and 50Gb Ethernet, and 100Gb spineleaf fabric deployments. The X870 offers unique flexibility for high bandwidth 100Gb spine fabric applications and high densit y 10Gb and 25Gb edge leaf aggregation, all with a proven ExtremeXOS operating system. A wide variet y of QSFP+ optical transceivers and cables can be used to support 10Gb and 40Gb Ethernet, while QSFP28 optical transceivers can be used to support 25Gb, 50Gb and 100Gb Ethernet applications.

ExtremeXOS Intelligent L2/L3 Switching

The ExtremeSwitching X870 family supports sophisticated, intelligent Layer 2 switching, as well as Layer 3 IPv4/ IPv6 routing, including policy-based switching and routing. The X690 simplifies network operation with the ExtremeXOS modular operating system, which is used across a wide range of ExtremeSwitching networking products. The high availability ExtremeXOS operating system reduces operational overhead through the use of a single OS across the network.

High-Performance 400Gb Stacking

The X870 support s SummitStack-V400 400Gbps high speed stacking using 2 10Gb ports. Up to 8 X590, X690 or X870 systems can be stacked via SummitStack-V400 cables using any of the supported 100Gb QSFP28 direct attach cables for the stacking links.
