Simplify, virtualize, and converge cloud-scale data center networks. Data centers today demand highly virtualized, converged, and scalable infrastructure. Multi-tenancy and cloud computing are driving the need for simplicity and cost efficiency from the network fabric, along with a need for expandability, high performance, and service up-time. The Extreme Networks Open Fabric solution, led by its flagship BlackDiamond X8 platform, provides seamless any-to-any connectivity through a simple, scalable, and centrally orchestrated network. BlackDiamond X8 Certified with VCE Vblock Systems. Designed for cloud-scale requirements of data centers, high-performance computing (HPC), and Internet exchange points (IXP), the BlackDiamond X8 provides a low-latency, high-performance switch fabric with high-density wire-speed 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE connectivity for edge-to-core applications, all in a compact footprint using only one-third of a standard rack. As a "fabric-in-a-box" solution, the BlackDiamond X8 eliminates expensive multi-tier architectures and the challenges of inter-device connectivity, uplink bandwidth, and latency. The BlackDiamond X8 also leverages a low-power design ideal for green operations and high degrees of energy efficiency, resulting in lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
