The Summit X460-G2 series is based on Extreme Networks revolutionary ExtremeXOS, a highly resilient OS that provides continuous uptime, manageability, and operational efficiency. Each switch offers the same high-performance, non-blocking hardware technology, in the Extreme Networks tradition of simplifying network deployments through the use of common hardware and software throughout the network. The Summit X460-G2 switches are effective campus-edge switches. The Summit X460-G2 series is also an option for DSLAM or CMTS aggregation, or for active Ethernet access. The Summit X460-G2 can also be used as a top-of-rack switch for many data center environments with features such as high-density Gigabit Ethernet for concentrated data center environments; high-capacity scalability for highly virtualized data centers; and intra-rack and cross-rack stacking with industry-leading flexibility.
