Extreme’s Next Generation Gigabit Ethernet Switches Offer New Network Design Options

Gigabit Ethernet networking has expanded to desktop connections in campus networking and to dense server connectivity in data centers.  In short gigabit Ethernet has become mainstream with multiple use cases driving its growth. But a new generation of gigabit Ethernet switches is needed to satisfy market demands with attributes such as PoE-Plus, stacking, data center cooling, power efficiency and more.  It’s these attributes and more that Extreme is delivering with its new Summit X460 Gigabit Ethernet switch.  I talk with Darius Goodall, Senior Manager Product Marketing at Extreme Networks about the Summit X460 and the new network designs it enables.
