Extreme Networks Product Brief
Summit X650 Series
Summit
X650 Series—The ultimate Top of Rack
10 Gigabit Ethernet switch.
High-Performance Switching and Routing
• 24-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet non-blocking switching with 363
million packet per second forwarding rate in 1 Rack Unit (RU)
form factor
• 256 Gbps ultra high-speed stacking for up to eight units in a
stack to provide up to 192 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports in one
logically integrated unit
Versatile Architecture
• From high-performance server switching to enterprise
network aggregation and core deployment
• One network operating system for Extreme Networks
®
Ethernet switches everywhere in the network
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet over UTP cable and optical fiber with
SFP+ transceivers for single-mode and multimode fiber
installation
High Availability
• ExtremeXOS
®
modular operating system for highly available
network operation
• Carrier-grade redundant networking protocol including
Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching (EAPS)
• Internal redundant AC/DC power supply and field replace-
able fan tray
Future-Proof
• 48-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet non-blocking switching with
512 Gbps SummitStack™512 technology
• Future support for 40 Gigabit Ethernet and 100 Gigabit
Ethernet through Versatile Interface Module (VIM) slot
The Summit
®
X650 series switch is a purpose-built
Top of Rack switch designed for emerging 10 Gigabit
Ethernet-enabled servers, deployed in enterprise
data centers. Summit X650 optimize new server
deployments while providing a seamless migration
path from existing Gigabit Ethernet-based servers
to 10 Gigabit Ethernet-based high-performance
servers to start the transition to a new virtualized
environment.
Summit X650 provides remarkable high-density for
10 Gigabit Ethernet in a very small 1RU form
factor for up to 32 ports in one system and 192 ports
in a stacked system. Summit X650 offers two of the
most advanced 10 Gigabit Ethernet technologies,
10GBASE-T and SFP+, to accommodate the needs
for both copper twisted pair cable and optical
fiber-based 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
The versatile Summit X650 switch provides
exceptional high-density Layer 2/3 switching. With
ultra low latency and highly scalable IPv4 and IPv6
unicast and multicast routing, enterprise aggregation
and core backbone deployment can be enabled in
AC-powered and DC-powered environments.
Summit X650 simplifies network operation with
an ExtremeXOS modular operating system amongst
all Extreme Networks
®
Ethernet switches. The
ExtremeXOS operating system provides high
availability and simplicity with one operating system
everywhere in the network.
Target Applications
• Top of Rack switch for servers in enterprise
data centers
• High-performance 10 gigabit core switch for a
small network
• High-performance 10 gigabit aggregation
switch in a traditional three-tiered network
• Interconnect switch providing low latency
connections for High Performance Cluster
Computing (HPCC)
