ExtremeCloud SD-WAN
Network and security complexity are rapidly increasing. Legacy networks are straining to support today’s hybrid IT environments, a mix of on-premises, cloud, and SaaS technologies, as well as real-time, bandwidth-intense collaboration services and applications required by hybrid work. As organizations adapt to an unprecedented rate of change, IT teams are grappling with a lack of automation and integration between technologies, a lack of broad and deep visibility, widening skills shortages, and increasingly complex licensing.

SD-WAN offers connectivity, continuity, and cost benefits. However, as both network edges and the attack surface increase, SD-WAN also creates management, security, and visibility challenges.

ExtremeCloud SD-WAN is a flexible, secure solution that delivers the benefits of SD-WAN, while reducing risk, simplifying operations, and improving productivity with Unified Management, Fabric to the Edge, and best-in-class Application Performance Management packaged as a cost-effective OPEX subscription.

Benefits:
Application Performance Management and Visibility
Consistent, exceptional user experiences and evidence-based network refinement.

Automated application discovery for more than 5,000 SaaS applications streamlines deployment and identifies shadow IT.
Intelligent application performance control analyzes and optimizes traffic to enforce an end-to-end, per- session QoS for critical application sessions, even when the network is congested.
Advanced application performance visualization enables at-a-glance performance assessment and rapid troubleshooting when needed.

Fabric to the Edge
Seamless extension of Extreme Fabric services over low-cost internet access transport improves visibility, performance, and resilience at all branches.

Extreme SD-WAN optimizes performance and security for tunneled Fabric traffic
Extreme Fabric enables zero-touch provisioning of Extreme Wi-Fi APs and Ethernet switches at branch locations
Fabric hypersegmentation enables secure connectivity, simplified compliance, and improved attack resistance against lateral threats.
