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 the entire WAN. Policy includes SD-WAN appliances, SD-WAN topology, security profiles and Applications Anywhere 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. Integration between Extreme Fabric Extend and ExtremeCloud SD-WAN allows extending an existing campus network-based Fabric, with all the functionalities, towards remote sites equipped just with Internet connectivity.

•

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) and cloud-based advanced networking platform EdgeSentry (powered by Check Point) designed to bolster Site-based security using FWaaS and SWG (including Web filtering, HTTPs inspection, DLP, and more).

•

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.
