DATA SHEET Extreme Networks S-Series Terabit-class, Convergence-ready, Modular Switch for Edge-to-Core and Data Deployments Extreme Networks S-Series Highlights Terabit-class performance with granular traffic visibility and control Automated network provisioning for virtualized, cloud, and converged voice/ video/data environments High availability redundancy features including self-healing, maximizes business continuity for critical applications Versatile high density solution with highly flexible connectivity and power options reduces cost of ownership Built-in hardware support for 40Gb and 100 Gbps Ethernet, emerging protocols (IPv6) and large scale deployment Product Overview The Extreme Networks S-Series family of flow-based switches brings high performance distributed switching to the network access layer, distribution layer, enterprise/campus core, and data center. The S-Series family consists of the 8-slot S8, 6-slot S6, 4-slot S4, 3-slot S3, 1-slot S1A chassis and the fixed configuration S-Series Stand Alone (SSA). The S-Series delivers some of the highest switching port densities per rack unit available in the market and is future-proofed and protocols (MPLS) scalable to provide overall system capacities of up to nine and a half Terabits. Greater than 9.5 Tbps backplane capacity All chassis support 802.3af and 802.3at (high power) standards-based PoE via with 2.56 Tbps switching capacity and an integrated or field installable power system. There are a variety of I/O modules designed and optimized for deployment at the network access layer, distribution layer, network core and data center that provide a broad array of connectivity options for copper and fiber cabling infrastructures. The S-Series provides a highly resilient distributed switching and routing architecture withmanagement and control functions embedded in each module, delivering unsurpassed reliability, scalability, and fault tolerance. Organizations can cost-effectively add connectivity as needed while scaling performance capacity with each new module. The highly available architecture makes forwarding decisions, and enforces security policies and roles while classifying/prioritizing traffic at wire speed. All I/O modules provide the highest Quality of Service (QoS) features for critical datacenter and campus applications such as voice and HD video even during periods of high network traffic load while also proactively preventing Denial of Service (DoS) attacks and malware propagation. The S-Series implements our custom packet processor technology, CoreFlow2, which provides an industry-leading, flow-based switching architecture to intelligently manage individual user and application conversations—far beyond the capabilities of switches that are limited to using VLANs, ACLs, and ports to implement role-based access controls. Users are identified and roles are applied to ensure each individual user can access their business-critical applications no matter where they connect to the network.
