BlackDiamond 8800 Series
BlackDiamond 8800 series switches simplify the enterprise network.
Enterprise IT managers don't have the time or resources to deal with overly complex, specialized network infrastructure solutions. BlackDiamond® 8800 series switches from Extreme Networks® redefine the architecture of the enterprise, replacing the traditional three-tier structure with a streamlined two-tier network that reduces management overhead, operational complexity and capital expenditures.
BlackDiamond 8800 series switches deliver voice-class availability, high-density Power over Ethernet (PoE), Gigabit Ethernet, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet wherever it's needed. It fits well at the edge of the most demanding enterprises, switching Voice-over-IP (VoIP), video, wireless and data traffic. BlackDiamond 8800 series switches' non-blocking ports can interconnect thousands of servers for High Performance Cluster Computing (HPCC). With their comprehensive security features, BlackDiamond 8800 series switches are the single switch solution for mid-sized enterprises. BlackDiamond 8800 series switches' wide range of Layers 2 - 4 features allow the aggregation of high-speed connections, eliminating bottlenecks between edge and core.
- High-density PoE edge switch for integrate wired, wireless and IP Telephony
- Interconnect switch providing low-latency connections for HPCC
- Single switch network solution for small to medium-sized networks
- Traditional gigabit or 10 Gigabit Ethernet aggregation switch
A high-performance network connection, whether used to connect PCs and IP telephones at the access layer or to interconnect servers in a cluster, is only useful if it is also highly available. BlackDiamond®8800 modular switching family incorporates extensive hardware redundancy and a modular Operating System (OS), ExtremeXOS™, that can provide the network recovery required by converged applications.
Implementing a secure network means providing protection at the network perimeter as well as the core. Working together with Extreme Networks Sentriant™ family of products, BlackDiamond 8800 switches use a defense-in-depth strategy in protecting your network from known or potential threats.
- Redundant system design
- Modular ExtremeXOS OS for highly available operations
- Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching (EAPS) resiliency protocol
- Directory-integrated link security
- Threat detection and response instrumentation to react to network intrusion
- Hardened network infrastructure
BlackDiamond 8800 series
switches deliver high-performance, cost-effective connectivity to address networking trends such as the increasing number of devices at the edge of the network: IP telephones, wireless Access Points (APs), and other devices. These networking trends drive the requirement for Gigabit Ethernet to the desktop and the use of 10 Gigabit Ethernet as an interconnect technology.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows BlackDiamond 8800 series switches to support large IP Telephony and wireless AP deployments. BlackDiamond 8810 can support up to 333 Class 3 ports in a single 14RU chassis or can power a maximum of 432 PoE ports in a single chassis with Class 1 or 2 power. No external power trays are needed in order to power up fully loaded BlackDiamond 8800 switches with Class 1, 2 or 3 devices.
- Voice and wireless connectivity
- Large switching capacity capable of supporting over 570 Mpps
- Flexible connectivity for multiple applications
- 800 Gbps switch fabric bandwidth
- 48 Gbps per slot capacity
- Over 570 Mpps Layer 2/Layer 3 hardware forwarding rate
- Local switching on every I/O module
High-Density PoE Edge Switch for Integrated Wired, Wireless and IP TelephonyBlackDiamond 8800 switches deliver high-performance and cost-effective connectivity driven by networking trends such as: the increasing number of IP telephones, wireless APs and other devices at the edge of the network, Gigabit Ethernet connections to the desktop and the use of gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet as an interconnect technology. BlackDiamond 8800 series switches allow the traditional edge layer and aggregation layer of the network to be collapsed into a single unified access layer.
High-Performance Enterprise Core for a Small- to Medium-sized NetworkBlackDiamond 8800 switches provide the ideal core network for a small to medium-sized network with high-performance and high density 10 Gigabit Ethernet and gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
High Performance Cluster ComputingHPCC consists of hundreds or thousands of servers working co-operatively to solve large computational problems. With the use of relatively inexpensive and compact 1RU servers, a significant amount of processing power can be cost-effectively packed into a relatively small footprint. BlackDiamond 8800 series switches address the need for high-performance and cost-effective connectivity required for HPCC using gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet as the interconnect technology.
