Extreme Networks Enterasys Matrix E7 Ethernet Switch - 7 x Expansion Slot 6C107

Matrix E7 Ethernet Switch

Ideal for data centers and high-performance wiring closets, the Matrix E7 delivers pinpoint control to critical network entry areas, without the expense and complexity of competitive routed solutions.

By embedding Layer 2-4 services on advanced ASICs, the Matrix E7 brings comprehensive quality of service, security and traffic containment to desktops and servers at the network edge. Network managers can now guarantee delivery of high-priority applications, enable service level agreements (SLAs) by provisioning bandwidth, and prevent security breaches by stopping them at their sources.

Low Cost of Ownership:

• Advanced Layer 2-4 traffic control without expensive, complex routing solutions
• Next-generation nTERA backplane completely compatible with 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation modules
  
  High-Density, Scalable Switching for Data Centers and High-Performance Wiring Closets:
• Supports 336 10/100 ports, scalable to over 500 / 42 Gigabit ports, scalable to over 80
• Wire-speed Layer 2-4 services / scalable to > 100 million packets per second
• Scalable for emerging technologies: 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Optical Uplinks, Jumbo Frames
  
  Industry-Leading Uplink Options for Cost-Effective Technology Migration:
• Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-SX/LX/ELX (70km) and 1000Base-T (Gigabit over Copper)
• ATM OC-3 and OC-12 / FDDI / multiple WAN options including T1/E1 and modem
  
  Superior Fault Tolerance for Maximum Uptime:
• Distributed switching architecture with no single point of failure
  
  High Availability Features Based on Emerging Industry Standards:
• Link aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad) / Per-VLAN spanning (IEEE 802.1s) / Quick Convergence Spanning Tree (IEEE 802.1w)
  
  Multilayer Frame Classification:
• The industry's only Layer 2 switch with built-in multilayer frame classification, the Matrix E7 offers Layer 3 and 4 traffic control, security filtering and Rate Limiting without the complexity and cost associated with a routed solution. Put simply, only Enterasys can deliver this powerful multilayer functionality in a low-cost, easy-to-use platform.
  
  Built-In Firmware Feature Set:
• The Matrix E7 provides a very broad, yet standards-based firmware feature set based on mature Matrix E6 technology. And unlike competitive products, the Enterasys Matrix E7 includes advanced multilayer switching services, 9 groups of RMON management per port, and feature-rich configuration capabilities at no additional charge.
  
  True Investment Protection:
• Protecting customers' investments is a top priority, so the Matrix E7 is completely compatible with all existing Matrix E6 modules. That's just the start, though, because the Matrix E7 shares common firmware feature sets with existing Enterasys switches - like standards-based 802.1Q VLAN and SecureFast support.
  
  Quality of Service (QoS):
• Essential to the successful support and delivery of business-critical applications, the Matrix E7 allows network administrators to apply Quality of Service using multiple processes including:
  - Assigning 802.1p traffic classes to receive frames based on parameters such as end-station address, IP TOS or Layer 4 (TCP/UDP) socket number
  - Bandwidth provisioning inbound traffic to insure that SLA can be met
  - Bandwidth provisioning outbound traffic to ensure that the high-speed uplinks are not over subscribed
  - Mapping traffic classes to prioritized queues
  - Strict and Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ)
  
  Advanced Router Module:
• The Matrix E7 can deliver wire-speed Layer 3 switching and routing between the chassis, modules and VLANs with the Advanced Router Module (6SSRM-02). The Advanced Router Module provides Layer 4 application awareness, Access Control Lists, Dynamic Host Control Protocol Support, Network Address Translation Support and enhanced multicast support - at a much lower cost than that of any competitive solution.
