About the Extreme Networks ExtremeRouting 9740-80C

Next-Generation Fixed Form Router for Core Aggregation at Service Providers and Large Enterprise Data Centers

Increasingly organizations are expanding from on-premise, private and hybrid cloud to full multi-cloud architectures to address agility, scale, security, reliability and cost requirements as digital transformation reshapes their business environment. To succeed in the digital era, organizations need network platforms with the adaptability to address these rapidly evolving demands and enable them to simplify and scale operations while driving out cost.

The ExtremeRouting SLX 9740 Series platforms serve as demarcation between the enterprise networks and the service provider networks (Internet) where the ISP connections terminate. Basic requirements include support for a full Internet routing table, mainstream routing protocols BGP, OSPF and IS-IS, EVPN VxLAN, ACLs, BGP Internet peering scale, MPLS, deep buffer, device management and entry level DDoS protection.

Extreme Networks offers a choice for selecting the right routing solution to meet your business needs. The options include the SLX 9740 (1U) with 40 x 100 GbE ports and the SLX 9740 (2U) with 80 x 100 GbE ports to deliver cost effective solutions for the most demanding Enterprise and Service Provider customers.

Internet-Scale Routing Platform

The SLX 9740 is designed to cost-effectively deliver the scale and performance needed to address the explosive growth in network bandwidth, devices, and services - today and well into the future. This flexible platform, powered by Extreme SLX-OS, provides carrier-class advanced features that leverage proven Extreme routing, MPLS, Carrier Ethernet, and VXLAN overlay technology currently deployed in the most demanding service provider, data center, and enterprise networks.

Ultra-Deep Buffers

The SLX 9740 offers a deep buffering platform that is purpose-built for the most demanding service provider and enterprise networks. The border router is the interconnection point between internal networks and the internet. With more traffic moving across these routers, there is added demand for capacity, the ability to absorb speed mis-matches and handle microbursts without compromising performance. The SLX 9740-40C has 8GB and SLX 9740-80C has 16GB of deep packet buffers.

Core Aggregation

Enterprise and Co-location data center consolidate on multiple layers with the SLX 9740 and can sit as an edge router above the datacenter network. With the use of MPLS or layer 3 protocols the SLX 9740 links the datacenter gear to another datacenter or the out side world. Multi-Chassis Trunking (MCT) provides dynamic flow-based load balancing to multiple network nodes to enable resilient and high-performance networks.
