Extreme BlackDiamond 10808 Series
BlackDiamond 10808 Series
Designed from the ground up for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, BlackDiamond 10808 incorporates advanced technology in the areas of security, availability and scalable performance.
Even more importantly, BlackDiamond 10808 is designed to help meet tomorrow's needs as well as today's. Extensibility is the key to building intelligent core networks that can adapt and respond to changing requirements over time; this is where BlackDiamond 10808 truly stands out.
Features anf benefits
Security
BlackDiamond 10808 can deliver a high level of security to Ethernet core networking. BlackDiamond 10808 complements the perimeter firewalls by protecting the "soft interior" of the network that often goes unprotected. Utilizing the industry's most advanced CLEAR-Flow Security Rules Engine, BlackDiamond 10808 can be programmed to automatically detect and mitigate security threats. This is achieved through:
- Threat detection and response with CLEAR-Flow Security Rules Engine
- Layer 3 virtual switching
- Hardened network infrastructure
Voice-Class Availability
A high-performance network connection, whether used to connect PCs and IP telephones at the access layer or to interconnect servers in a cluster, is only useful if it is also highly available. BlackDiamond 10808 allows every active component (including the operating system) to be upgraded without taking the switch out of service. BlackDiamond 10808 also utilizes the industry-leading ExtremeXOS® modular operating system to raise the availability of the switch.
Network level resiliency protocols are also added to increase the availability of the network. This is achieved through:
- Redundant hardware design
- Modular operating system for non-stop operation with ExtremeXOS Operating System (OS)
- High availability network using Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching (EAPS)
Scalable Performance
Offering industry-leading 10 gigabit and Gigabit Ethernet port density, BlackDiamond 10808 scales to meet the immediate requirements and anticipates future requirements of very demanding IPv4 and IPv6 environments. This is achieved through:
- System scalability with large table sizes, port capacity
- Quality of Service (QoS) and multicast performance providing application scalability
- Scalable management through extensibility.
