The BlackDiamond 8800 series is a very scalable modular switch. By selecting the appropriate set of modules, it can be configured for the following network requirements.

• High density 10G or GE switch, for high performance Data Centers
• High density POE switch, for converged enterprise edge
• Scalable 10G or GE switch, for small, medium or large enterprise cores

Data Center and High Performance Cluster Computing
HPCC consists of hundreds or thousands of servers working cooperatively to solve large computational problems. With the use of relatively inexpensive and compact 1RU servers, a significant amount of processing power can be cost-effectively packed into a relatively small footprint. BlackDiamond 8800 series switches address the need for high-performance and cost-effective connectivity required for Data Center and HPCC applications using Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet as the interconnect technology.

High-Density PoE Edge Switch for Integrated Wired, Wireless and IP Telephony
BlackDiamond 8800 switches deliver high-performance and cost-effective connectivity driven by networking trends such as: the increasing number of IP telephones, wireless APs and other devices at the edge of the network, Gigabit Ethernet connections to the desktop and the use of gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet as an interconnect technology. BlackDiamond 8800 series switches allow the traditional edge layer and aggregation layer of the network to be collapsed into a single unified access layer.

High-Performance Enterprise Core
BlackDiamond 8800 switches provide the ideal core network for a small to medium-sized network with high-performance and high density 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.

Warranty Policies

If a problem should occur during the applicable warranty period, please follow the processes detailed below. Extreme Networks warranty coverage is detailed in the warranty card that ships with the product. The warranty period is measured from the date the product is shipped from Extreme Networks.

Warranty Process

Please contact your local Extreme TAC via phone, email or web.

Please have the following information available:

• Product number (example, Summit^® X650)
• Serial number of the product (on the outside of the product, or can be viewed via the CLI)
• Complete description of the product failure

If the problem requires that the product be shipped back to Extreme Networks, ensure that you have obtained a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number, and note this RMA number on the box, when you ship the defective unit back to the appropriate Extreme Networks location.
