YOUR architecture



The world of NetworkingThe Enterprise challenges and opportunities

Manage security, reliability and compliance policies rather than elements.

Enable deployment of heterogeneous solutions; empower choice.

Protect investment; maximize return; right-size cost of ownership.

Release the power of the most pervasive component of the infrastructure - the network.

Sustaining and extending differentiation in a world where IT service is perceived as commoditizing.



The world of Networking

Focus area : Security

A heavily ‘componentized’ market place :

• Management / deployment complexity increases.

• Protection is limited : capacity, scalability, scope.

• Results are erratic - far from ‘a sure thing’.

Security was an insurance-policy - now it’s essential

• Declaration of vulnerability to the appearance of a virus/worm is a rapidly shrinking window.

• Viral propagation rates are increasing rapidly.

• The “Day-Zero” Enterprise exposure is growing fast.



The world of Networking

Focus area : Convergence

Converged networking is by design, not luck

• All information isn’t created equal

• Telecom infrastructure of the past has set expectations for the future.

Wireless is happening; with or without IT sponsorship

• Uncontrolled (… un-secure) deployments are easy to execute

• Wireless installation and operational demands are more complex and demanding than first expected.



The Value of “Open”

Organizational agility & flexibility

Build to YOUR architecture, not the vendors

Deploy solution depth YOUR users need; not just solution breadth

Change vendors when YOU want

Organizational empowerment

Allow competitive negotiations; get more for YOUR $

YOU choose best-in-breed -v- best-in-brand



Proof points : The Open solution

Focus area : Security

Leverage switch-fabric power :

• Open / Standards-based control of the network

Policy based behavioral monitoring

Dynamic ‘access control lists’

Delivering unique scalability for secure networking :

• Virtually in-line, physically out-of-line

• High availability and performance

• Open standards communications to ‘VSR’s



Proof points : The Open solution

Focus area : Convergence

A network ‘aware’ of convergence

• Support for new open protocols - LLDP, etc

• Integration with voice-partner management solutions

• Industry leading link-failure recovery

Centralized management of distributed wireless networking :

• Ease-of-deployment and management of local and remote WLAN/WAPs.

• Single location for all wireless policy management



However ….

“I’m in a world I know; it works for me”

• As did the mainframes … and 3270 …

• Satisfactory today is restrictive tomorrow

Plan for the unseen, build for the unknown

“Change is difficult; it’s costly”

• TCO of open environments are proven to be lower

• Transition is the open-vendor’s core competency

Executed many times; proven results



Our technology



ExtremeWare XOS

Industry’s first modular switching operating system :

• High availability : module “isolation”

An open platform for collaboration with partners :

• UNIX based system

• Modular extension and scaling

• Open standards communications : XML

Leverages the power of the hardware :

• Virtual switching intelligence

• Industry inflection-point technology : ClearFlow



Technology differentiation

“Quality of Service”

• The patent authors: Steve Haddock, Herb Schneider, Mike Yip

• Leading the way with hierarchical QoS since 1999

Native power and flexibility

• 4rd generation ASICs

• Unmatched speed, flexibility and intelligence

• Dynamic programmability

Enterprise solutions developed for the demanding Service Provider marketplace

• High availability; by design
