Transform Networks to Deliver New Levels of Scale, Agility, and Operational Efficiency
Turnkey and Customizable Lifecycle Automation
Meets Today’s Application Demands with High Performance and Low Latency

  • As the foundation for several data center architectures, VDX switches support Extreme IP fabrics, Extreme VCS® fabrics, as well as network virtualization.
  • For organizations seeking automated provisioning capabilities to improve IT agility, VDX switches, together with Extreme VCS Fabric technology, accelerate time to value through automated provisioning of network devices and network virtualization.

  • The Workflow Composer platform automates the entire infrastructure lifecycle—from provisioning and validation to troubleshooting and remediation.
  • It also integrates across IT domains for end-to-end event-driven workflow automation.
  • Designed to run with the Workflow Composer platform, Workflow Composer Automation Suites are ideal for IT organizations that seek to embrace automation yet possess limited automation training or time.

  • With 1/10 GbE connections, VDX 6740, 6740T, and 6740T-1G switches deliver the high-performance computing needed to keep up with the demands of a virtualized data center, allowing organizations to reduce network congestion, improve application performance.
  • The 40 GbE uplinks can easily aggregate high-bandwidth traffic and reduce bottlenecks that occur when aggregating multiple 10 GbE connections, keeping data center networks working at peak performance.
