BlackDiamond X8 Series

The ExtremeSwitching X8 platform provides seamless any-to-any connectivity through a simple, scalable, and centrally orchestrated network.

Designed for cloud-scale requirements of data centers, high-performance computing (HPC), and Internet exchange points (IXP), the ExtremeSwitching X8 provides a low-latency, high-performance switch fabric with high-density wire-speed 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE connectivity for edge-to-core applications, all in a compact footprint using only one-third of a standard rack. The ExtremeSwitching X8 eliminates expensive multi-tier architectures and the challenges of inter-device connectivity, uplink bandwidth, and latency. The ExtremeSwitching X8 also leverages a low-power design ideal for green operations and high degrees of energy efficiency, resulting in lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
