Extreme Networks ExtremeXOS OpenFlow Feature Pack

Extreme Networks has created the ExtremeXOS modular Operating System (OS) - for highly available, extensible, high-performance networks. ExtremeXOS high-availability architecture with EAPS protocol helps to reduce network downtime for business continuity and access to mission-critical applications such as CRM, data warehouses and VoIP for carrier- and voice-grade networks. Built-in security capabilities provide network access control integrated with endpoint integrity checking, identity management, and protection for the network control and management planes. With ExtremeXOS you can extend the capabilities of your network by integrating specialized application appliances such as security devices into the network, providing insight and control at the network, application and user level.

ExtremeXOS implementation of OpenFlow APIs allows an external OpenFlow-based SDN controller to access and control the forwarding plane of ExtremeXOS network devices. ExtremeXOS-based switches offer a programming interface through OpenFlow to enable a high degree of automation in provisioning network services for many upper layer business critical applications running the OpenFlow-based SDN controller.
