Introducing the Extreme 8520 switches for large scale BGP-EVPN IP Fabric enterprise data centers and service provider fixed and mobile edge architectures. As a part of Extreme’s Universal platform, the Extreme 8520 delivers scalable L2 and L3 services and deterministic network performance while simplifying deployment and reducing cost. The Extreme 8520 platforms are top-of-rack, fixed form factor 1/10/25/40/100GbE leaf switches with 32MB of packet buffer and an overall non-blocking, in and out throughput of 2Tbps. There are two network hardware platforms, offering forty-eight 1/10/25 GbE SFP28 ports and either six or eight 100/40 GbE QSFP28 ports. As part of Extreme’s Trusted Delivery initiative, the Extreme 8000 Series of Universal switches introduce powerful security enhancements with a combination of Secure Boot technology, enhanced by an industry-first Measured Boot implementation. Measured Boot extends the security posture of the system into the execution of the operating system itself for greater protection against threats. The Extreme 8520 network hardware platforms enable organizations to design open networks that accommodate a variety of applications and eastwest traffic patterns. With its high-density scale-out architecture, leading power efficiency, and airflow options, the Extreme 8520 platforms deliver cost-effective solutions that optimizes power, cooling, and data center space, wherever your center of data might be.
