Extreme Debuts New Modules Boosting Density of its Alpine Switches

Extreme Networks introduced third generation "Triumph" modules that provide scalable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, advanced traffic management and integrated copper diagnostics for its Alpine modular switching platform. The new modules deliver a 400% increase in Gigabit port density compared to previous generation technology. Traffic management capabilities support eight ingress and eight egress queues, and one egress super-queue per port so that each port can be individually configured to accurately and flexibly rate shape traffic. Bandwidth can be configured in 1Kbps increments. Detailed statistics can be used to implement usage-based billing. Two versions are available: 16-port auto-sensing 10/100/1000 copper ports ($4,495) or 16 port fiber 1000BASE-X ports ($5,995).
