The Extreme Network 8720-32C-AC-F offers the same robust performance as the 8720-32C but is configured with front-to-back airflow and dual AC power supplies for hot aisle cooling environments. Its 32 QSFP28 ports deliver high-capacity switching with multi-rate support from 10GbE to 100GbE, enabling flexible fabric designs. This model is ideal for enterprise, campus core, or service provider edge deployments requiring front airflow alignment. Designed with high-availability features like redundant fans, PSU failover, and in-service software upgrades (ISSU), the 8720-32C-AC-F ensures operational continuity. Enhanced security features like MACsec, granular traffic filtering, and secure boot protect critical infrastructure.
It supports programmable telemetry and automation via APIs, simplifying network insight and management. The AC front-to-back airflow configuration aligns perfectly with standardized data center cooling strategies, ensuring reliable performance under heavy loads and making it an essential building block for next-generation networks.
