Future-proof LAN infrastructures: Extreme Fabric combines automation, Zero Trust, and maximum scalability
With its Fabric Networking portfolio, Extreme Networks offers a comprehensive, future-proof solution for LAN infrastructures in campus, branch, and data center environments. The portfolio addresses the increasing demands for scalability, security, and automation in modern enterprise networks and enables a unified, efficient, and secure network architecture.
Portfolio overview:
End-to-End Fabric solution: Fabric to the Edge: Extreme Fabric is the industry's only fully automated and secure fabric solution that seamlessly connects campus, data center, and branch locations. The fabric architecture is based on Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) and IS-IS routing, enabling the virtualization of network services over a common infrastructure—regardless of the underlying topology. This allows multiple, isolated virtual networks (hypersegmentation) to be operated in parallel, which significantly increases security and flexibility.
Automation and simplification: Integrated automation eliminates manual configurations and sources of error. Zero-touch provisioning, auto-sensing, and self-healing ensure rapid commissioning, automatic segmentation, and a resilient network architecture. New network segments, devices, and services can be deployed and managed in minutes—even across multiple locations.
Security at all levels: Extreme Fabric offers an end-to-end Zero Trust security concept. The segmentation of applications, users, and devices prevents lateral movement and minimizes the risk of security incidents. The Fabric topology remains hidden from an IP perspective (Stealth Core), which additionally protects the network from attacks. Security features such as automatic access control and encryption are an integral part of the solution.
Scalability and flexibility: The portfolio includes Universal Switches and Access Points that natively support Fabric and can be flexibly integrated into existing infrastructures. The Fabric solution is highly scalable and supports the operation of tens of thousands of devices and services—from the headquarters to branch offices. Via SD-WAN, Fabric can also be extended over the internet or Metro Ethernet to securely and efficiently connect distributed locations.
Centralized management and transparency: With Extreme Platform ONE and ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine, a centralized, cloud-based management platform is available. It offers comprehensive network visualization, fabric monitoring, automated configuration, and policy enforcement—even for third-party devices.
Cost efficiency: Extreme Fabric is already included with Universal Switches and Access Points—with no additional controller or licensing costs. The solution reduces operational and capital expenditures through less hardware, lower administrative overhead, and a drastic minimization of downtime (up to 83% less downtime, up to 80% lower costs).
