S-Series

The Extreme Networks S-Series family of flow-based switches brings high performance distributed switching to the network access layer, distribution layer, enterprise/campus core, and data center. The S-Series family consists of the 8-slot S8, 6-slot S6, 4-slot S4, 3-slot S3, 1-slot S1A chassis and the fixed configuration S-Series Stand Alone (SSA). The S-Series delivers some of the highest switching port densities per rack unit available in the market and is future-proofed and scalable to provide overall system capacities of up to nine and a half Terabits. All chassis support 802.3af and 802.3at (high power) standards-based PoE via an integrated or field installable power system. There are a variety of I/O modules designed and optimized for deployment at the network access layer, distribution layer, network core and data center that provide a broad array of connectivity options for copper and fiber cabling infrastructures.

• High-performance custom CoreFlow2 ASICs for deep visibility and control
• Classifies users, devices and applications; enforces access control and categorization policies for granular QoS functionality and predictable application performance
• Flexible architecture allows deployment from the network edge to core and data center, reducing deployment and maintenance costs and simplifying management
• Multi-user authentication and policy at scale
• Programmable dataplane for future protocol support
• Application policy support
• Network Address Translation and server load balancing at scale (NAT and LSNAT)
• GRE tunneling
• Unsampled NetFlow data on every port for complete visibility
• MACSEC link encryption
• VXLAN Gateway
