Earlier, Extreme Networks earned a Top 5 rating in data
center and cloud switching (ToR/EoR) market share according to a separate
Dell’Oro report on the Cloud market opportunity and data center networks,
released in November.
The Dell’Oro Report market reports follow the recent
Lippis Test Report results that showed the BlackDiamond X8 switch tested 3-10
faster than other network vendors. The Extreme Networks core fabric
switch also had the lowest latency (of 2.3 microseconds for 64 bit frames) and
lowest energy use (5.6 watts per port) of any core products in the test. The
BlackDiamond X8 is expected to begin shipping in the first half of next
calendar year.
Extreme Networks has more than 6,000 customers worldwide,
including 19 of the top 20 mobile operators. Extreme Networks also has
more than 700 data center customers worldwide, including Johns Hopkins
University, Korea Telecom, Microsoft, Samsung, SingTel, VMware and Wynn
Resorts.
“Our recent momentum in the high-end of the data
center market puts us in great position to lead as cloud networks evolve,”
said Harpreet Chadra, vice president, product management for Extreme Networks.
