Summit 48 & 24  Alpine 3808 & 3804 Black Diamond 6808

---

Summit1i  is the ideal switch for mid-tier aggregation in enterprise, basement customer premise equipment (CPE) for metro area networks, and for server load balancing/web cache redirection in server co-location and hosting environments. With a compact 2U factor, the Summit1i switch integrates non-blocking Wire-Speed IP/IPX Routing and Layer 2 switching with advanced capabilities like Policy-Based Quality of Service, server load balancing, web cache redirection and access control lists-all at wire speed on every port.

Summit1i -Available in two configurations with six 100/1000BASE-T or 1000BASE-SX ports plus two GBIC-based 1000BASE-X ports, the Summit1i also comes with built-in redundant power supplies for increased fault tolerance. Point of Presence (POP) The shift from narrowband technologies to gigabit level services has dramatically changed the networking requirements of the customer premise equipment portion of metro area networks, as well in Internet data centers fed by high-capacity connections. The Summit1i provides an ideal integrated platform to meet these new requirements.

Broadband Access POP -an integrated platform for providing transport and service termination at the CPE location. Features wire-speed switching and routing, filtering, virtual metropolitan area networks (vMANs), and bidirectional bandwidth controls.

Broadband Services POP -Provides a single aggregation point for the basic service delivery mechanisms necessary for an Internet data center-scalability, security, access policies, wire-speed access control lists, and server load balancing combined with both high availability and web cache redirection cofigurations.

Pre-installed on every Extreme Networks ™ switch, the ExtremeWare ™software suite features industry standard protocols to ensure interoperability with legacy switches and routers, plus Policy-Based Quality of Service (QoS) for bandwidth management and traffic prioritization. ExtremeWare scales performance and increases availability by combining Policy-Based QoS with fully integrated server load balancing, web cache redirection, access control lists, VLAN switching and routing, IETF DiffServ and IEEE 802.1p.

 
Alpine 3808 and 3804 chassis switches provide a simpler, more resilient broadband infrastructure for metro and regional area networks, service provider data centers, multi-tenant buildings and enterprise wiring closets. Both switches use an interchangeable set of power supplies, switch modules and management modules. Each switch has its own hot-swappable fan tray, which installs vertically into the front of each chassis. The Alpine 3808 has nine slots and the Alpine 3804 has five slots. Optionally, fully redundant power supplies fit into the front of the Alpine 3808 and into the rear of the Alpine 3804. The first slot of both chassis is used for the Switch Management Module (SMMi ), which performs all management functions, manages the switch forwarding database and routing tables, and processes all route protocol updates. The remaining eight and four slots of the Alpine 3808 and 3804 are used for switch modules.

Switch modules for Gigabit Ethernet include:

• 4-port GBIC-based 1000BASE-X (GM-4Xi) module; 1000BASE-SX, LX or LX70 GBIC modules purchased separately.
  
• 4-port MT-RJ-based 1000BASE-SX (GM-4Si) module; preconfigured with four 1000BASE-SX ports.
  
• 4-port RJ-45-based 100/1000BASE-T (GM-4Ti) module; supports 100 meters of standard category 5 unshielded twisted pair cable.

BlackDiamond 6808 chassis switch from Extreme Networks® delivers industry-leading Layer 3 switching performance, availability and port density for enterprise, service provider and web content provider networks.

The BlackDiamond 6808 switch delivers wire-speed switching at Layer 2, as well as IP and IPX routing at more than 96 million packets per second. Wire-speed Layer 2 switching and IP/IPX routing are critical in multiprotocol enterprise applications. Wire-Speed IP Routing is critical to service providers that provide Internet bandwidth to web server farms and web content providers that deliver content-rich web pages.

High availability requirements are best met with the BlackDiamond 6808 chassis switch. It goes beyond all other Layer 3 switches to eliminate single points of failure and bring carrier-class resiliency to data networks. In addition to fully redundant power supplies and hot-swappable components - modules, power supplies and fan tray - the BlackDiamond 6808 switch offers dual load-sharing Management Switch Fabric Modules (MSM64i).

To enhance performance and availability, the ExtremeWare software suite adds advanced features like server load balancing, web cache redirection, IETF DiffServ, and Policy-Based Quality of Service (QoS).Server load balancing and web cache redirection maximize the availability of Internet and intranet services while speeding up their response time. Combining these features with IETF DiffServ and Policy-Based Quality of Service provides traffic prioritization and bandwidth management to guarantee bandwidth for mission-critical and revenue-generating applications.

The BlackDiamond 6808 chassis switch sets industry benchmarks for port density with up to 96 Gigabit Ethernet ports or 384 10/100BASE-TX ports, all switching and routing at wire-speed.

• Non-blocking 128 Gbps backplane yields over 96 million packet per second throughput
