Extreme Summit 10/100 Switches

Application evolution happens at the edge of the network. In the enterprise network architecture, the role of edge switches becomes more important to support a variety of applications as well as the proliferation of network-enabled devices. The edge switches are required to support emerging technologies and its fluctuation on day to day basis without increasing the management burden to maintain the application performance.
