Extreme SLX 9250

As data centers and cloud service providers embrace new highperformance 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 efficiencies, 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.
