Make a connected customer happier, and a mobile employee more productive. Make a factory floor more automated or an emergency room smarter. Extreme’s solutions briefs point the way to more mobile, more secure and more agile organizations and industries. From education and hospitality to healthcare and Manufacturing, Extreme Networks™ combines world—class products with global perspective to build nimble networks that deliver a tighter connection with customers and stronger bottom line results. Enterprise data center operators face a number of challenges as they try to build and maintain their business’s most important strategic asset. Orchestrating applications, traffic and virtual machines is becoming much more difficult. Managing an increasingly complicated network takes up time that could be better spent serving users and integrating new applications, and scaling to meet growing needs is expensive. Extreme Networks™ addresses these challenges with our software defined data center architecture comprised of advanced hardware, software and partner ecosystem solutions.

Network Powered Application Analytics And Optimization

Bridge the gap between business intelligence, IT network management, and security. Purview™ leverages breakthrough technology to bridge the gap between business intelligence, IT network management, and security through a single integrated view. Purview™ helps organizations improve user experience, while meeting the growing needs of network users, and improving network performance. Purview is capable of collecting, analyzing, and reporting application data from the entire network, including wired and wireless devices, core/data centers, and private or public cloud environments. Extreme Application Analytics™ is a Network Powered Application Analytics and Optimization™ solution that captures network data and aggregates, analyzes, correlates, and reports on it to enable better decision—making and improved business performance. It is the industry’s very first and only—patent pending—solution to transform the Network into a Strategic Business Asset. At the same time, this platform also avoids the proprietary nature of other SDN models that results in vendor lock in.

Software–Defined Networking

The Extreme Networks™ SDN Platform is part of the Extreme Networks™ Software Defined Architecture which includes networking infrastructure (wireless/campus LAN, data center and high—performance computing) and value—add Extreme™ software solutions (NetSight™, Purview™, SDN). These products can be deployed as stand—alone or integrated products. Extreme Networks SDN™ platform is evolutionary software defined networking (SDN) platform to promote community led innovation. We believe customers should be able to migrate their existing (brownfield) networks to SDN without expensive forklift upgrades. Seamless SDN migration requires both an open, standards based and comprehensive approach with strong community mind share and partner ecosystem support. Extreme Networks’ SDN™ platform is based on a comprehensive, hardened OpenDaylight™ (ODL) controller that uniquely includes: network management, network access control, application analytics and wireless controller technology.

Features And Benefits

Extreme Networks comprehensive approach preserves the integrity of the open API provided by ODL while extending data center orchestration, automation and provisioning to the entire network under a single pane of glass. Extreme Networks™’ simple, fast and smart SDN platform tightly integrates with existing and multi—vendor hardware and software network environments, preserving customer investments and avoiding vendor lock in. Backward compatibility is maintained with multi—vendor network infrastructure that conforms to the OpenFlow standard and other open APIs. Extreme Networks™ OpenDaylight™ based API, software development kit (SDK) and developer community will enable customers to evolve the network to keep pace with emerging security, wireless, and converged SDN infrastructure. The result is a simpler development platform that avoids the feature and capability limitations of other open SDN models—many of which are really only truly applicable to new or ‘greenfield’ networking implementations.
