SLX 9850

Next-Generation Modular Routing Platform for the Digital Era

With mobile connectivity, cloud services, and 4K HD video streaming for billions

of devices the norm, and the Internet-of-Things (IoT) and augmented reality and

virtual reality on the horizon, organizations must modernize the way they

communicate and conduct business. In addition to consuming an enormous

amount of network capacity, these services increase operational complexity just

as organizations are striving to meet customer demands for greater business

agility and performance.

To succeed in the digital era, organizations need network platforms that allow

them to simplify and speed up operations, without increasing costs. Such

platforms incorporate innovative software to analyze and automate network

operations, thereby reducing OpEx, and provide ﬂexible deployment options

with forwarding performance and scale to dramatically reduce CapEx.

Extensible Routing Platform

The ExtremeRouting SLX 9850 is designed to cost-eectively deliver the density,

scale, and performance needed to address the explosive growth in network

bandwidth, devices, and services—today and well into the future. This ﬂexible

platform, powered by Extreme SLX-OS, provides carrier-class advanced features

that leverage proven Extreme routing technology currently deployed in the

most demanding data center, service provider, and enterprise networks. And it is

all delivered through best-in-class forwarding hardware. The extensible

architecture is designed for investment protection, to readily support future

requirements for greater bandwidth, scale, and forwarding capabilities. In addition,

the SLX 9850 helps address the increasing agility and analytics needs of digital

organizations with innovative network automation and visibility enabled through

Extreme Workﬂow Composer™and the Extreme Integrated Application Hosting.
