The exacting demands of IP Telephony deployments, enterprise aggregation, corporate data centers and network backbones, and metro Ethernet provider Points of Presence require solutions that combine consistent performance, carrier-class availability, enhanced security and simplified management.
BlackDiamond® core switching products from Extreme Networks are designed and built to deliver these critical capabilities.
These switches minimize latency and jitter, which degrade the quality of voice and video applications. They're also highly resilient, a key aspect of voice-class availability using technologies such as Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching (EAPS) link resiliency standard to provide sub-50-millisecond link failover recovery time. Our multi-layered approach to security helps safeguard your network and leverages best-of-breed appliances and partners, so you can implement the security architecture that's best for you. Our products share the same user interface and management framework, ensuring end-to-end simplicity, which is even more critical now with a single, converged network that carries all of an organization's voice, video and data traffic.
