Local Area Networks (LAN) White Papers

Network Design Guidelines

Overview From enterprise desktops, LAN segments, server groups and the network core, all Extreme switches leverage the same hardware, software and management architecture to deliver a common set of services throughout your infrastructure. In each of these areas, Extreme Networks switches provide smooth and cost-effective system solutions which reduce congestion, increase capacity, eliminate poor routing performance and ease application overload. Ultimately, you'll be able to focus on the applications that run on the network.
