Extreme Networks introduces Policy Management capabilities

Extreme Networks says that its secure, role-based policy management technology is now available for the newly launched Summit® X450-G2 family of fixed switches and some other select previously released Summit switches. This marks the integration of proven policy and security management technology into the ExtremeXOS® operating system, allowing customers the flexibility to define and manage end-to-end policy in mixed Extreme Networks’ wired and wireless environments, including those with IdentiFi™ Access Points, the A, B, C, K and S-Series switches and the Summit line of switches.

Extreme Networks is committed to solving IT’s toughest networking challenges through intelligent software. The addition of role-based policy capabilities in the operating system establishes a secure, end-to-end framework where every user, including guests, employees and executive management, has their own predetermined set of rules for accessing the network. Policies are defined and centrally managed by Extreme Networks’ NetSight™, a single pane-of-glass management system that automatically pushes policies to Extreme Networks’ access points and switches in the network, significantly simplifying the task of managing a secure network and enhancing operational efficiency.

 

The new Summit X450-G2 also supports automation capabilities with southbound APIs for easy integration with the company’s Open Daylight-based OneController™. These critical capabilities enable customers to strategically evolve their networks to interact with emerging security and wireless technologies as well as converged Software Defined Networking (SDN) infrastructures as part of a complete edge-to-cloud network portfolio.
