Extreme Networks increase VAS portfolio with support from EMC

Extreme Networks has announced that its Open Fabric data center and cloud network architecture has been authenticated as part of an EMC VSPEX solution. The Open Fabric network solution has been positioned with EMC architecture to deliver low latency and virtualization support for Cloud networking.

Validated and modular, VSPEX will enable customers to make informed decisions about their choice of hypervisor, compute, networking, and storage components, reducing complexity and risk for IT teams.

Jake Howering, Director of Data Center Solutions for Extreme Networks said, "Meeting the vital network and storage orchestration requirements are key to further adoption of the cloud. We are backing EMC VSPEX solutions with robust and open standards networking, including SDN capable switches, allowing end customers to seamlessly deploy integrated storage networks with server virtualization stacks."
 

The validation of  Extreme Networks technology as part of a VSPEX solution will enable channel partners, VAR's and distributors to increase their value-added services portfolio to include disaster recovery, business continuity, business productivity and IT Edge solutions over a defined integrated solution architecture, lowering their own cost to design and deploy solutions.

Extreme Networks Open Fabric data center solution supports leading virtualization hypervisors, the OpenStack IaaS cloud platform and other standards-based technologies, and lossless Ethernet storage with Data Center Bridging (DCB).
