Extreme Networks ExtremeSwitching SLX 9250-32C Switch
Compact fixed form, purpose-built 32 x 100/40 GbE cost-effective Spine Switches with built-in Extreme Fabric Automation

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.

Plug-n-Play Data Center Fabrics with Extreme Fabric Automation

Extreme Fabric Automation simplifies and accelerates the deployment of the data center IP Fabric. The on-box application runs as a service on the Guest VM within the SLX and uses industry-standard open API based programmable interfaces to provide the easiest way to deploy, provision and automate single or multiple data center IP Fabric networks in the fastest and most efficient way. Extreme Fabric Automation is also the point of integration for VMware vCenter, Microsoft Hyper V and OpenStack.

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.

High-Availability and Reliability

The SLX 9250 delivers the high performance and reliability required by modern enterprises and service provider data centers. It is designed for high availability from both a software and hardware perspective, such as a clear separation between the control plane and data plane and redundant power supplies and fan modules.

Embedded Network Visibility

Extreme’s Insight Architecture leverages an innovative combination of SLX Series operating software and hardware features to provide pervasive visibility without impacting switching or network performance. This flexible and open solution enables organizations to deploy Extreme-provided and/ or third-party applications and tools directly on the SLX system for real time visibility.

Management

The SLX 9250 can be managed in a variety of ways. REST, NETCONF management interface or simple onbox management functions are delivered with CLI for manual configuration. For centralized management, the Extreme Management Center (XMC) delivers a comprehensive unified management capability. XMC provides a consolidated view of users, devices and applications for wired and wireless networks – from data center to edge.
