The Extreme Network 8720-32C-DC-R delivers top-tier performance with a focus on cold-aisle thermal compliance and DC power redundancy. This model supports 32 high-speed QSFP28 ports with multi-rate compatibility, perfect for deploying spine-leaf topologies in data center and telco networks. With back-to-front airflow and dual DC PSU support, the 8720-32C-DC-R aligns with carrier cooling infrastructures and ensures reliable operation even in power-sensitive installations. It supports VXLAN for scalable overlays, MACsec for secure transport, and Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) for efficient deployment.
The unit?s advanced telemetry allows proactive monitoring of switch health, utilization, and traffic flows, reducing MTTR. Redundant fans, robust cooling, and modular PSU slots make it a high-availability solution for enterprise-class environments. Whether in edge POPs or centralized core sites, this switch balances power efficiency, network intelligence, and operational flexibility.
