Extreme Networks Builds Advanced
10-Gigabit Metro Network
Extreme Networks, a market leader in Metro Ethernet networking, is
providing
the 10 Gigabit Ethernet SUPERDemo network at this week's SUPERCOMM 2003 (June
3-5; World Congress Center, Atlanta). Extreme Networks' Craig Easley is
leading several tutorial sessions on the deployment of Metro Ethernet networks
and emerging Ethernet in the First Mile technologies.
Extreme Networks is the lead hardware sponsor building and operating the
Core
SUPERDemo Metro Ethernet Network, located at the Metro Ethernet Forum's (MEF)
Booth #10115. This demonstration network will showcase a highly available IP
network infrastructure running Ethernet services that are based on the work of
the MEF Technical Committee. The SUPERDemo network will feature
interoperability demonstrations of both e-Line and e-LAN Metro Ethernet
services. Extreme's award-winning BlackDiamond modular switching platform
configured with industry-leading Layer 3 10 Gigabit Ethernet will provide
scalable switching performance.
In conjunction with SUPERCOMM's education program, Extreme Networks' Craig
Easley will participate in instructive industry discussions regarding Ethernet
in the First Mile technologies, located in the SUPERDemo theater, running
Tuesday through Thursday during show hours. Easley serves as president of the
Ethernet in the First Mile Alliance (EFMA). Extreme will showcase Ethernet
subscriber access networking infrastructure that assists carriers with the
deployment of revenue generating broadband IP and Ethernet-based services.
"Metro Ethernet has emerged globally as a viable technology in the public
network that allows carriers to increase their efficiency and improve their
profitability," said Craig Easley, office of the CTO for Extreme Networks.
"Extreme Networks is working with industry groups such as the MEF and the EFMA
to deliver these technologies to carrier customers. The solutions meet
globally accepted technical standards for Metro Ethernet networking and are
ready for deployment."
