Presentation
Delivered based on a cloud-native system architecture, ExtremeCloud SD-WAN closely integrates a key set of solution components:
| • | ExtremeCloud SD-WAN Orchestrator, cloud-hosted and part of ExtremeCloud, providing a single pane of glass interface for configuration and policy definition across entire WAN. Policy includes SD-WAN appliances, SD-WAN topology, security profiles and automated SaaS and IaaS on-ramp rules. All of this topped with end-to-end Quality of Experience (QoE) policy enforcement and application performance reporting. |
| • | Hardware SD-WAN Appliances offering a range of deployment modes (routed, route/bridge hybrid, bridge) and site resiliency features designed to ensure a risk-free SD-WAN technology introduction. These are proprietary hardware appliances deployed on site, between the WAN devices and the LAN switch. SD-WAN Appliances are provided by Extreme, as part of the ExtremeCloud SD-WAN solution. |
| • | Site-DC-IaaS connectivity established over any WAN transport, creating flexible secure overlay topologies including hub and spoke and full mesh or remote connections to public clouds; Proprietary Dynamic WAN Selection algorithm is used to distribute the traffic across different transport networks, based on the application performance driven Experience Quality Score. |
| • | Full security stack featuring a Zone-Based Firewall used for VPN traffic segmentation and Internet traffic steering (direct to internet, backhauling in DC, web gateways). |
| • | Unrivaled Application Performance including layer 7 Application Performance Monitoring analyzing all application flows traversing the SD-WAN overlay, an Application Performance Monitoring and Control algorithm enforcing an advanced, end-to-end, per-session QoS across the entire SD-WAN and WAN optimization for usage on highly congested networks; Application Performance specific data is immediately available for Customer analysis in the SD-WAN Orchestrator Reporting Module. |
