Extreme Networks 8720-32C with DC PS F-B fans

Overview:

With the increasing need for high-performance edge compute and distributed cloud-native applications, enterprise data centers and service provider fixed, and mobile edge solutions require dense 40/100GbE switches for large scale BGP-EVPN IP Fabric spine and leaf architectures. As a part of Extreme’s Universal platform, the Extreme 8720 delivers scalable L2 and L3 services and deterministic network performance while simplifying deployment and reducing cost.

The Extreme 8720 is a high performance, feature-rich, and purpose built 10/25/40/100 GbE network hardware platform built for uncompromising performance in enterprise data centers and for mobile operators delivering critical 5G micro data center and multi-access edge compute (MEC) environments.

As part of Extreme’s Trusted Delivery initiative, the Extreme 8000 Series of Universal switches introduce powerful security enhancements with a combination of Secure Boot technology, enhanced by an industry-first Measured Boot implementation. Measured Boot extends the security posture of the system into the execution of the operating system itself for greater protection against threats.

The Extreme 8720 network hardware platform enables organizations to design open networks that accommodate a variety of applications and east-west traffic patterns. With its high-density scale-out architecture, leading power efficiency, and airflow options, the 8720 platform delivers a cost-effective solution that optimizes power, cooling, and data center space, wherever your center of data might be.
