Why ExtremeCloud SD-WAN
ExtremeCloud SD-WAN depends on cloud-native system architecture and closely integrates the following solution components:
| • | ExtremeCloud SD-WAN Orchestrator is a cloud-hosted platform. It provides single-pane-of-glass interface for configuration and policy definition across the entire WAN. The Policy includes SD-WAN appliances and SD-WAN topology. |
| • | Hardware SD-WAN appliances offer a routed deployment and site resiliency features designed to ensure risk-free SD-WAN technology introduction. These appliances are proprietary hardware, deployed on site, between the WAN devices and the LAN switch. |
| • | Site-DC-IaaS connectivity secure overlay topologies, including hub and spoke and full mesh, with remote connections to public clouds. The Dynamic WAN Selection algorithm distributes traffic based on application performance and the Experience Quality Score. Additionally, Extreme Fabric Extend integrates with SD-WAN to extend campus network-based fabric to remote sites. |
| • | Layer 7 Application Performance Monitoring analyzes all flows within the SD-WAN overlay. The Application Performance Monitoring and Control algorithm enforces advanced, end-to-end, per-session Quality of Service (QoS) across the entire SD-WAN and WAN optimization for usage on highly congested networks. Additionally, Application Performance specific data is instantly available for analysis within the SD-WAN Orchestrator's Reporting Module. |
