Extreme networks BlackDiamond 10808 10G6X 61050 Data Sheet

BlackDiamond 10808 hardware supports a wide  
array of protocols. In addition, BlackDiamond 10808 
incorporates programmable ASIC technology. This 
programmability ensures that the platform will 
support emerging protocols without costly hardware 
upgrades—thus offering great investment protection.

These applications require high-performance, 
scalability and the highest level of resiliency. Even 
more importantly, BlackDiamond 10808 is de-
signed to help meet tomorrow’s needs as well as 
today’s. Extensibility is the key to building intelli-
gent core networks that can adapt and respond to 
changing requirements over time; this is where 
BlackDiamond 10808 truly stands alone.

BlackDiamond 10808 has been designed to excel 
in a wide array of applications, including:

•  Enterprise backbone switch for high-  

performance networks

•  Enterprise data center switch providing 

server interconnection for mission-critical
