Extreme Networks ExtremeSwitching 7520-48Y-8C - Switch - L3 - Managed - 48 x 1/10/25 Gigabit SFP28 + 8 x 40/100 Gigabit QSFP28 - front to back airflow - rack-mountable

The Extreme 7520 are purpose-built 48-port 25 Gb switches designed for high-performance aggregation and core applications. As a universal hardware platform, the 7520 provides end-to-end secure network segmentation, in addition to advanced policy capabilities. This makes the 7520 a uniquely flexible platform that can be deployed in a variety of aggregation and core environments.
The Extreme 7520 network hardware platform enables organizations to design networks that accommodate a variety of applications and east-west traffic patterns. With its high-density scale-out architecture, leading power efficiency, and airflow options, the 7520 platform delivers a cost-effective solution that optimizes power, cooling, and equipment room space, wherever your network operating center might be.

• High-performance, fixed-form switches for leaf, spine, aggregation, or core applications
• Fabric Connect for automated network operations, simplified network provisioning and enhanced security

• Universal hardware platform
  The 7520 Series comes with a dual-persona capability allowing user choice of the switch operating system (OS). Either the Switch Engine (EXOS) or Fabric Engine (VOSS) persona can be enabled on 7520 hardware models. The desired persona can be selected at start-up or changed at a later stage. Once selected, the 7520 assumes the features/capabilities of the selected OS. 7520 persona activation can be done manually at boot-up, including via the system CLI. Or, it can be automated by pre-provisioning the 7520 personnel in ExtremeCloud IQ. When first booted, the 7520 automatically connects to ExtremeCloud IQ to find its persona. The pre-provisioned OS persona is then remotely enabled on the 7520 system - eliminating the need for manual selection.
• High-performance stacking
  Two of the 7520's QSFP28 uplink ports can be used for high-speed 400 Gb stacking when running Switch Engine (EXOS). Up to eight systems can be stacked using qualified direct attach cables and/or optical transceivers.
