Future-Ready Network Solution
This Ethernet routing switch provides a software-definable network virtualization solution, making it ideal for organizations looking to future-proof their network infrastructure. The pay-as-you-grow model offers the flexibility of a traditional chassis solution with enhanced cost-effectiveness and scalability.
Next-generation, high-performance, feature-rich Ethernet Switch platforms specifically optimized for the Wiring Closet demands of the mainstream Enterprise. Extreme Ethernet Routing Switch 4900 products deliver the agility to perform equally in conventional IP and Ethernet Fabric-based networking solutions. The Ethernet Routing Switch 4900 products leverage the latest advances in network switching architecture design to maximize hardware performance and software capability. These products represent a clear evolutionary step for the Ethernet Routing Switch 4000 Series, particularly in terms of value and future-ready flexibility, and have been optimized for the Enabled Edge role.
The primary purpose of a network is to interconnect users with their applications, and the best networks do this reliably, efficiently, and with a high degree of agility. Extreme's Fabric-Based architecture empowers companies to extend the virtualized Ethernet Fabric beyond the Data Center, to the very edge of the network, delivering powerful integration of users, applications, and devices.
The new Ethernet Routing Switch 4900 (ERS 4900) products are an important part of this strategy, integrating Fabric Connect capabilities into a form-factor that is cost-effective, flexible, and reliable. The ERS 4900 products can be deployed standalone, or configured as a Stackable Chassis system of up to eight units/400 ports, supported by up to 416Gbps of virtual backplane bandwidth.
The Extreme Stackable Chassis technology can offer the same performance, resiliency, and ease of serviceability attributes of a traditional Chassis solution, but at a lower, pay-as-you-grow price point. Notable is the ability to swap- out an individual failed unit without the requirement to pre- or post-stage operating system software or configuration; providing equivalency to module replacement for a modular Chassis system.
The ERS 4900 products are purpose-built to support the demands of today's dynamic Wiring Closet with high-density, full-featured Gigabit Ethernet. It alleviates infrastructure complexity and reduces operational burden with a truly scalable and strategic architecture; it is designed to deliver a high-performance Enabled Edge solution that fully optimizes investments in next-generation application software.
Leveraging both next-generation hardware and software technology provides a solution that is ready to support both today's requirements and tomorrow's emerging needs. The ERS 4900 products enable business to future-proof with a highly software-definable network virtualization solution.
