The Summit X460 series
is based on Extreme Networks revolutionary ExtremeXOS,
a highly resilient OS that provides continuous uptime,
manageability and operational efficiency. Each switch
offers the same high-performance, nonblocking hardware
technology, in the Extreme Networks tradition of
simplifying network deployments through the use of
common hardware and software throughout the network
The Summit X460
switches are effective campus edge switches with IEEE
802.3at PoE-plus and can also serve as aggregation
switches for traditional enterprise networks. The Summit
X460 series is also an option for DSLAM or CMTS
aggregation, or for active Ethernet access
The Summit X460 is can
also be used as a top-of-rack switch for many data
center environments with features such as high-density
Gigabit Ethernet for concentrated data center
environments; XNV™ (ExtremeXOS Network Virtualization)
for centralized network-based Virtual Machine (VM)
inventory, VM location history and VM provisioning;
Direct Attach to offload VM switching from servers,
thereby improving performance; high-capacity Layer
2/Layer 3 scalability for highly virtualized data
centers; and intra-rack and cross-rack stacking with
industryleading flexibility
