Modules Support Extreme X770 Series Switches
Data communication and network technology have been developed in recent decades. With the expanding of networks, enterprises and vendors have been looking for a perfect solution to collect and store the data. Scalability, reliability and flexibility are their perpetual pursuit for their networks and data centers. Aimed at big data environments., Extreme X770 Series Switches meet a perfect need for all these requirements. This text will provide the some basic information about Extreme X770 Series Switches, especially for the transceivers that can be used in it.
Introduction to Extreme X770 Series Switches
Extreme X770 series switches are purpose-built top-of-rack switches designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet-enabled servers and emerging 40 Gigabit Ethernet-enabled servers in enterprise and cloud data centers. X770 series helps optimize new server deployments by supporting 40GbE ports or using breakout cables and/or fiber to support 10GbE ports to start the transition to the new virtualized environment.
Features of X770 Series Switches
There are several features of X770 series, and we would mainly introduce some of it.
High-speed Stacking—The X770 series supports three different types of stacking: SummitStack-320,SummitStack-160, SummitStack-V. SummitStack-320 provides high speed stacking running at 320 Gbps through the SummitStack-320 technology. SummitStack-320 can be enabled on four 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ ports as stacking interfaces. SummitStack-160 provides high-speed stacking running at 160 Gbps through the SummitStack-160 technology. SummitStack-160 can be enabled on two 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ ports as stacking interfaces. SummitStack-V provides high-spped stacking running at 40 Gbps through the SummitStack-V technology. SummitStack-V can be enabled on two 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ ports configured as 10GbE stacking interfaces.
1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP)—Summit X770 offers Boundary Clock (BC), Transparent Clock (TC), and Ordinary Clock (OC) for synchronizing phase and frequency and allowing the network and the connected devices to be synchronized down to microseconds of accuracy over Ethernet connection.
Green Design—Low Power Consumption with Optimized Cooling Options—The X770 series is designed to be environmentally green. System power consumption is very low at both high-load and idle situations through the power-efficient hardware design. The power supplies are also highly efficient, which minimizes the loss of power and unnecessary heat generated by the power supply. X770 series switches can be used in AC or DC powered environments.

Advantages of X770 Series Switches
The X770 Series provides high density layer 2/3 switching with MPLS and with low latency cut-through switching, and IPv4 and IPv6 unicast and multicast routing to enable enterprise aggregation and core backbone deployment in AC-powered and DC-powered environments as well as Front-to-Back and Back-to-Front airflow models. The X770 Series provides store-and-forward as well as cut-through forwarding is less than 600 nanoseconds. The X770 Series includes the ExtremeXOS modular operating system. The high availability ExtremeXOS operating system provides simplicity and ease of operation through the use of one OS everywhere in the network.
Summary
Extreme X770 switches can be used as a core switch or edge switch in the data center, and is compatible with 1GbE, 10GbE, and 40GbE switches from Extreme. It is of convenience for enterprises to use these switches to satisfy their requirements.
