Ethernet Routing Switch 5900

Next-generation, high-performance, feature-rich Ethernet

Switch platforms speciﬁcally optimized for the Wiring Closet

demands of the high-performance Enterprise. Extreme

Ethernet Routing Switch 5900 products deliver the agility

to perform equally in conventional IP and Ethernet Fabric-

based networking solutions.

The Ethernet Routing Switch 5900 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 5000 Series, particularly in terms of value and future-

ready ﬂexibility.

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 Ethernet Routing Switch 5900 (ERS 5900) 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 5900 products

can be deployed standalone, or conﬁgured as a Stackable Chassis system

of up to eight units/416 ports, supported by up to 672Gbps of virtual

backplane bandwidth.

Supporting modern Enterprise applications requires a ﬂexible and

highly reliable infrastructure, and the ERS 5900 products deliver against

this challenge. These are highly strategic products, ﬁt-for-purpose for

conventional Routed IP connectivity requirements and future-ready for

the evolving and emerging software-deﬁned needs of tomorrow. Boasting

equal competency for both IP and Fabric-based networking give businesses

the ﬂexibility to satisfy all common deployment scenarios, with the added

advantage of an easy transitioning between the two.
