Extreme Networks Ers 59100GTS 96GETH 4 SFP+ F2B

Supporting modern enterprise applications requires a flexible and highly reliable infrastructure, and the Ethernet Routing Switch 5900 products deliver against this challenge. These are highly strategic products, fit-for-purpose for conventional Routed IP connectivity requirements and future-ready for the evolving and emerging software-defined needs of tomorrow. Boasting equal competency for both IP and Fabric-based networking give businesses the flexibility to satisfy all common deployment scenarios, with the added advantage of an easy transitioning between the two.

The ERS 59100GTS features 96 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet access ports with RJ45 interfaces; these ports also support 10/100Mbps connectivity. Four SFP+ interfaces provide for network uplink connectivity, and these ports support both Gigabit and 10 Gigabit pluggable transceivers.

Importantly, all ERS 5900 models feature two dedicated Stackable Chassis interfaces on the rear; one a bidirectional uplink and the other a bi-directional downlink. These QoS-aware high-speed connections enable a resilient, high-performance hardware virtualization solution, leveraging a shortest path algorithm to minimizes transit hops in a multi-device configuration and supporting active-active bi-directional traffic flows.
