Next Generation Secure Data Center and Mobile Edge Leaf

Switches

Introducing the Extreme 8520 switches for large scale BGP-EVPN IP Fabric enterprise

data centers and service provider fixed and mobile edge architectures. As a part of

Extreme’s Universal platform, the Extreme 8520 delivers scalable L2 and L3 services

and deterministic network performance while simplifying deployment and reducing

cost.

The Extreme 8520 platforms are top-of-rack, fixed form factor 1/10/25/40/100GbE

leaf switches with 32MB of packet buffer and an overall non-blocking, in and out

throughput of 2Tbps. There are two network hardware platforms, offering forty-eight

1/10/25 GbE SFP28 ports and either six or eight 100/40 GbE QSFP28 ports.

As part of Extreme’s Trusted Delivery initiative, the Extreme 8000 Series of Universal

switches introduce powerful security enhancements with a combination of Secure

Boot technology, enhanced by an industry-first Measured Boot implementation.

Measured Boot extends the security posture of the system into the execution of the

operating system itself for greater protection against threats.

The Extreme 8520 network hardware platforms enable organizations to design open

networks that accommodate a variety of applications and east- west traffic patterns.

With its high-density scale-out architecture, leading power efficiency, and airflow

options, the Extreme 8520 platforms deliver cost-effective solutions that optimizes

power, cooling, and data center space, wherever your center of data might be.
