Is Green the new shade of Purple?
It's difficult to turn around without hearing or seeing something regarding the need to save our environment - recycling, cutting carbon emissions, renewable energy or fuel efficient cars. Green initiatives, corporate sensitivity to the environment, and the creation of positions like Head of Corporate Social Responsibility are now common place in business. Organizations have been mandated to find better ways of doing business that maintain their economic results while also bringing environmental change.
In many organizations IT represents a large cost center for businesses and finds itself the target of continuous budget pressure. Today the IT industry accounts for 1.5% of the total energy consumption in the U.S. and that number is expected to double by 2010 making IT the second largest consumer of power. As the drive to improve system and solution performance continues, the energy demands will also rise.
Energy costs money, and the rise in energy demands will impact organizational profitability. To limit the rise in these costs the network manager will have to find products that consume power effectively and efficiently.
In short, going 'Green' can protect a customer's bottom line and Extreme Networks® has positioned its products to help.
Keep Selling Purple!

High-Density PoE Edge Switch for Integrated Wired, Wireless and IP Telephony
BlackDiamond 8800 switches deliver high-performance and cost-effective connectivity driven by networking trends such as: the increasing number of IP telephones, wireless APs and other devices at the edge of the network, Gigabit Ethernet connections to the desktop and the use of gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet as an interconnect technology. BlackDiamond 8800 series switches allow the traditional edge layer and aggregation layer of the network to be collapsed into a single unified access layer.
High-Performance Enterprise Core for a Small- to Medium-sized Network
BlackDiamond 8800 switches provide the ideal core network for a small to medium-sized network with high-performance and high density 10 Gigabit Ethernet and gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
High Performance Cluster Computing
HPCC consists of hundreds or thousands of servers working co-operatively to solve large computational problems. With the use of relatively inexpensive and compact 1RU servers, a significant amount of processing power can be cost-effectively packed into a relatively small footprint. BlackDiamond 8800 series switches address the need for high-performance and cost-effective connectivity required for HPCC using gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet as the interconnect technology.
