Extreme BlackDiamond 12804 Switches

The BlackDiamond 12804R service aggregation switch is purpose-built for metro providers to deliver new business and residential services. With innovations in tiered bandwidth control, granular content delivery, and the CLEAR-Flow security engine, metro providers can now offer more revenue-generating services per switch. New network scaling, service provisioning and service diagnostics features support deployment and management of large networks with ease.

The BlackDiamond 12804C and BlackDiamond10808 intelligent core and data center switches are designed to support needs of the converged networks with demanding data, Voice-over-IP (VoIP) and other mission-critical applications. Based on Extreme Networks fourth generation of Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) technology, these switches include longest prefix match (LPM) routing for IPv4 and IPv6, programmable packet parsing and editing, robust multicast performance, and the revolutionary CLEAR-Flow security infrastructure. These features enhance routing performance, allow support of new network protocols without disruptive hardware upgrades, enable seamless voice and video distribution, and enable real-time response to Day-Zero network Denial of Service attacks. Features such as Quality of Service, Access Control Lists (ACLs), and statistics gathering can be enabled without affecting packet throughput, even at 10 gigabit data rates.
