The Forrester WaveTM: Data Center Networking Hardware, Q1 2013

Distinct Competencies Separate The Core Vendors

• Extreme Networks. After decades of experience in the networking business, Extreme continues to take an open approach with the hardware, software, and development community. With ExtremeXOS (EXOS) modular software, its development community, and its data center switches (Black Diamond X8 and Summit), Extreme Networks Open Fabric architecture enables I&O professionals to deploy a shared and standardized platform. Its open approach and standards-based solution extends beyond traditional networking hardware; Ridgeline (Extreme‟s network management software) hooks into Citrix XEN, VMware, and Microsoft's Hyper-V. Its strong support for software development kits (SDKs) and application programming interfaces (APIs) has given it an edge in allowing its solution to integrate into third-party tools. Customers looking to keep their hardware options open and have a multiple hypervisor environment should Put Extreme Networks on their shortlist.

XNV – VM Lifecycle Management

28

– XNV brings unprecedented network visibility, control and automation into the server virtualization environment

– Ability to apply network and Port Level Configuration at the Virtual Port Level Virtual Port Profiles (VPP)

– Ability to automatically track and enforce VPP as VMs move across the data center, not just across switch ports

– VM inventory, location and history in a centralized location

– Integration with VMware, Citrix, Microsoft

VDI Provisioning: Is the Network Ready?

• Demarcation of the Access Edge no longer in the Wiring Closet

• Access edge border now extends within the Data Center … the “virtual wiring closet”

– That‟s where Virtual Desktop Machines are located

– User sessions are now initiated within the Data Center

• Controls needs to be applied at Access Edge and within the Data Center ToR

• Extreme Networks Identity Manager

– Mapping Identity to Physical Desktop Machine and Virtual Desktop Machine

– Dynamic roles, policies, and identity reporting is maintained!

• Network Virtualization Over Layer 3 (aka VXLAN/NVGRE/Nicira)

– Transport and Gateway services

– More scalable network architectures

• 100G Leadership in the Data Center

– Driving the transition from high density 10/40G to 40/100G

– Leverage Trident2 for ultra low latency, fully featured high density 40/100G modular and stackable solutions

– Driving faster TTM and industry technology transitions by leveraging deep merchant silicon expertise

• High performance predictable storage over Ethernet

– Synchronous replication across data centers over Ethernet

– Enabling Live VM migrations across data centers for just-in-time disaster recovery

• Auto-Configuring Fabric

– Network automatically adjusts to VM migration

– Edge to Core
