Description
The Extreme Networks ExtremeAccess Platform 1480 is a high-performance branch appliance designed to extend Fabric Connect services securely and efficiently to remote locations. Built for mid-sized branch and head-end deployments, it delivers up to 500 Mbps WAN throughput while maintaining consistent network services across distributed environments.
Powered by an 8-core Intel processor with 8GB RAM and 64GB SSD storage, the XA1480 enables advanced network virtualization through Fabric Connect VPN (FCVPN). It seamlessly extends Layer 2 and Layer 3 Virtual Service Networks (VSNs) across service provider WANs or public internet connections, ensuring secure, scalable, and reliable connectivity.
With integrated IPSec encryption, organizations can protect data end-to-end while maintaining simplified network operations. The compact form factor, combined with multiple Gigabit and 10 Gigabit interfaces, makes it ideal for remote branches requiring enterprise-grade performance, security, and flexibility.
Designed for ease of deployment and management, the XA1480 delivers a consistent user experience across campus and branch networks, reducing complexity while enhancing uptime, performance, and operational efficiency.
