ExtremeSwitching provides the nervous system of the autonomous enterprise by delivering simple, secure, and automated networks.

ExtremeSwitching solutions, through a combination of role-based policies, secure link encryption, and hyper-segmentation, help protect networks from the threat of cyber-attacks and breaches; streamline and simplify every aspect of network operations from deployment to support by combining industry-leading edge to core switches with powerful cloud management; and enable dynamic provisioning of network services as users and devices connect to the network.

 
‣    Fabric-Enabled: As a leader in fabric networking, Extreme offers a flexible portfolio of Ethernet and IP fabric solutions. Whether you are transforming your campus, data center, metro, or WAN, our fabric technologies ensure a faster, more flexible, and more secure foundation for your business.

‣    Application Hosting: Extreme Switches can run onboard applications alongside the switch OS – all without impacting performance. This can help provide network insight through on-board analytics applications and even enable new network applications without the need for a separate hardware device.

‣    Secure Link Encryption: Extreme switches help secure your traffic with support for IEEE 802.1AE MACsec across our various switch platforms. MACsec is a hop-by-hop security capability which encrypts/ decrypts packets between connected switches or devices.

 

‣    Dynamic Role–based Policies: Extreme Switches support a common highly-scalable policy mechanism across wired and wireless devices. These policies are centrally defined but locally enforced at the switch. These policies travel with the user, device, and application as they move through the network.

‣    Rich Analytics/ AI/ML-driven insights: Rich application telemetry combined with ExtremeAnalytics provide comprehensive network and application analytics. With on-going integration into ExtremeCloud IQ, powerful AI/ML-based insights offer the ability to fine-tuning the network, before issues become service impacting.

‣    Universal Platforms: Avoid technology lock in and evolve to new deployment models by simply changing the software while reusing your existing hardware. Extend the life of your switches by re-deploying them as needed.
