Data Sheet
Ethernet Routing Switch 4900
Next-generation, high-performance, feature-rich Ethernet
Switch platforms specifically optimized for the Wiring Closet
demands of the mainstream Enterprise. Extreme Ethernet
Routing Switch 4900 products deliver the agility to perform
equally in conventional IP and Ethernet Fabric-based
networking solutions.
The Ethernet Routing Switch 4900 products leverage the latest advances in
network switching architecture design to maximize hardware performance
and software capability. These products represent a clear evolutionary step
for the Ethernet Routing Switch 4000 Series, particularly in terms of
value and future-ready flexibility, and have been optimized for the
Enabled Edge role.
The primary purpose of a network is to interconnect users with their
applications, and the best networks do this reliably, eciently, and with
a high degree of agility. Extreme’s Fabric-Based architecture empowers
companies to extend the virtualized Ethernet Fabric beyond the Data
Center, to the very edge of the network, delivering powerful integration of
users, applications, and devices.
The new Ethernet Routing Switch 4900 (ERS 4900) products are an
important part of this strategy, integrating Fabric Connect capabilities into
a form-factor that is cost-eective, flexible, and reliable. The ERS 4900
products can be deployed standalone, or configured as a Stackable Chassis
system of up to eight units/400 ports, supported by up to 416Gbps of
virtual backplane bandwidth.
