With its high-density scale-out architecture, leading power efficiency, and airflow options, the 7520 platform delivers a cost-effective solution that optimizes power, cooling, and equipment room space, wherever your network operating center might be.

Key Highlights

  • High-performance, fixed-form switches for leaf, spine, aggregation, or core applications
  • Universal dual-persona hardware allows user choice of switch operating systems
  • ExtremeCloud IQ and ExtremeCloud IQ - Site Engine for powerful, secure and easy to use cloud-based network management.
  • Fabric Connect for automated network operations, simplified network provisioning and enhanced security

Features

Key capabilities and technologies

Universal Hardware Platform

The 7520 Series comes with a dual-persona capability allowing user choice of the switch operating system (OS). Either the Switch Engine (EXOS) or Fabric Engine (VOSS) persona can be enabled on 7520 hardware models. The desired persona can be selected at start-up or changed at a later stage. Once selected, the 7520 assumes the features/capabilities of the selected OS.

Ethernet Fabric Services

The 7520 supports a variety of Ethernet Fabric services, including Extreme's Fabric Connect when running Fabric Engine (VOSS) and Extreme's IP Fabric when running Switch Engine (EXOS). It also supports Fabric Attach for automated connection to either Layer 2 or Layer 3 fabric services. Extreme's Fabric Connect and IP Fabric on the 7520 enable the creation of virtualized networks that automate network operations, simplify network provisioning, and enhance security, all while reducing the strain on network and IT personnel.

High-Performance Stacking

Two of the 7520's QSFP28 uplink ports can be used for high-speed 400Gb stacking when running Switch Engine (EXOS). Up to eight systems can be stacked using qualified direct attach cables and/or optical transceivers. (Note: Stacking is not supported on the 7520-48YE -8CE model or when running Fabric Engine (VOSS)).

Management

The 7520 can be managed by ExtremeCloud IQ and ExtremeCloud IQ-Site Engine for comprehensive unified management with a consolidated view of users, devices and applications across wired and wireless networks.
