SLX 9250-32C SWITCH WITH TWO EMPTY POWER SUPPLY SLOTS SIX EMPTY FAN SLOTS SUPPO

ExtremeSwitching™ SLX 9250 | Next-Generation Spine Switch

As data centers and cloud service providers embrace new high- performance servers and distributed applications, they increasingly need dense 100/40 GbE switches for leaf and spine configurations. Traditionally, infrastructure has been slow to evolve, and it can be a barrier to innovation. With flexibility at all layers of the data center stack, IT teams can drive agility. The ExtremeSwitching SLX 9250 Switch is designed to help organizations stay ahead of this application- and data-driven network transformation without compromising performance.

By leveraging this high-density switch, data center networks can dramatically improve power, space, and cooling efficiencies, even at scale. A programmable ASIC enables the adoption of new protocols and technologies through an OS, rather than a forklift upgrade. Payload timestamping improves the accuracy of performance SLA setting and measurement.

Application Telemetry

Application Telemetry is a unique feature of ExtremeAnalytics that enables the ExtremeSwitching infrastructure to participate in the forwarding and analysis of network application flows. By combining packet flow information from the SLX 9250 along with the deep packet inspection abilities of ExtremeAnalytics, actionable insights into network and application performance can be provided. This all without the need for expensive sensors or collectors.

Modular, Virtualized Operation System

The SLX 9250 runs Extreme SLX-OS, a fully virtualized Linux-based operating system that delivers process-level resiliency and fault isolation. SLX-OS supports advanced switching features and is highly programmable with support for REST API with the YANG data model, Python, and NETCONF. It is based on Ubuntu Linux, which offers all the advantages of open source and access to commonly used Linux tools.

Integrated Application Hosting

The SLX 9250 can run onboard VM-based applications alongside the switch OS-all without impacting performance. This flexible and open solution enables organizations to deploy Extreme- provided or third-party applications and tools directly on the switch for security, monitoring, troubleshooting or extended network functionality- based on customer need-without a separate hardware device. This unique design does not impact the control and forwarding plane of the switch and provides dedicated CPUs, memory and SSD storage for flexible packet capture and off-line processing.
