Customer-Driven Networking Data Sheet Highlights • Delivers up to 230 Tbps non-blocking capacity in a midplane-free platform, providing industry-leading 100/40/10 GbE port density, cost-efficiency, scale, and performance with a 1.5U module architecture designed for future growth • Supports on-device visibility into data plane traffic with the Extreme Networks SLX Insight Architecture • Enables customizable, real-time monitoring via the Extreme Networks SLX Insight Architecture for improved troubleshooting with reduced MTTR, optimized use of off-device Big Data analytics and monitoring platforms, and intelligent automation • Incorporates turnkey and customizable cross-domain workflow automation for the entire network lifecycle through Extreme Networks Workflow Composer and network automation suites, helping to improve business agility and innovation ExtremeRouting™ SLX 9850 Next-Generation Modular Routing Platform for the Digital Era With mobile connectivity, cloud services, and 4K HD video streaming for billions of devices the norm, and the Internet-of-Things (IoT) and augmented reality and virtual reality on the horizon, organizations must modernize the way they communicate and conduct business. In addition to consuming an enormous amount of network capacity, these services increase operational complexity just as organizations are striving to meet customer demands for greater business agility and performance. To succeed in the digital era, organizations need network platforms that allow them to simplify and speed up operations, without increasing costs. Such platforms incorporate innovative software to analyze and automate network operations, thereby reducing OpEx, and provide flexible deployment options with forwarding performance and scale to dramatically reduce CapEx. Extensible Routing Platform The ExtremeRouting SLX 9850 is designed to cost-effectively deliver the density, scale, and performance needed to address the explosive growth in network bandwidth, devices, and services—today and well into the future. This flexible platform, powered by Extreme SLX-OS, provides carrier-class advanced features that leverage proven Extreme routing technology currently deployed in the most demanding data center, service provider, and enterprise networks. And it is all delivered through best-in-class forwarding hardware. The extensible architecture is designed for investment protection, to readily support future requirements for greater bandwidth,
