SLX 9250

Next-Generation Spine Switch

As data centers and cloud service providers embrace new high-

performance servers and distributed applications, they increasingly need

dense 100/40 GbE switches for leaf and spine conﬁgurations. Traditionally,

infrastructure has been slow to evolve, and it can be a barrier to innovation.

With ﬂexibility at all layers of the data center stack, IT teams can drive

agility. The ExtremeSwitching SLX 9250 Switch is designed to help

organizations stay ahead of this application- and data-driven network

transformation without compromising performance.

By leveraging this high-density switch, data center networks can

dramatically improve power, space, and cooling eciencies, even at

scale. A programmable ASIC enables the adoption of new protocols

and technologies through an OS, rather than a forklift upgrade.

Payload timestamping improves the accuracy of performance SLA

setting and measurement.

Highlights

• Delivers agility at all layers of the

data center stack

• Provides high-density 100/40 GbE

spine and leaf connectivity in a 1U

ﬁxed form factor

• Ability to deliver 100GbE to 4 x 25

GbE or 40GbE to 4 x 10 GbE using

break out cable

• Full featured SLX operating system

with advanced features supporting

switching, Data Center Fabrics, BGP-

EVPN and VXLAN

• Supports Integrated Application

Hosting to enable organizations to

deploy Extreme-provided or third-

party applications and tools directly

on the switch

• Oers a choice of AC/DC power

supplies and F/R fans

• Extreme Fabric Automation

leverages Integrated Application

Hosting and enables plug-n-play IP

fabrics for infrastructure provisioning

and conﬁguration of all tenant

services across the entire fabric at no

additional cost

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.
