Extreme Networks, Inc. announced that its Summit X450a family of switches have been tested and are now available for sale with Dell EqualLogic SANs. Extreme Networks Ethernet networking solutions, in concert with Dells' EqualLogic iSCSI solution, provide a high-performance, cost-effective storage solution to meet the requirements of today's demanding data center customers.
Summit X450a and Summit X450e Series
Extreme Networks Summit X450a switches provide data center customers with a switching solution that combines lower operating cost along with easier deployment and management.
"Customers are converging storage onto Ethernet technology to drive lower costs, boost simplicity and performance," said Paul Hooper, vice president and general manager for the Volume Products Group at Extreme Networks. "By testing our products with Dell to ensure compatibility, we are able to bring to our customers a high performance, easy to manage and operate solution at very compelling price points compared to traditional SAN solutions."
