Extreme Networks Introduces New Cloud-Managed Universal Wi-Fi 7 Access Point, Industry’s Easiest to Deploy/Provision Switches - Seite 2

The 4000 Series Switches: Simple Cloud-Managed Switching

• The new 4000 Series includes the 4120 and 4220 families and extends Extreme’s innovative Universal Switching portfolio. By leveraging ExtremeCloud solutions, the 4000 Series dramatically reduces the time it takes to deploy and manage new switches and includes features such as:
  • Instant Stacking, automating setup via a single button across multiple switches;
  • Instant Port, eliminating the need for manual port configuration; and
  • Instant Secure Port, offering integrated authentication and policy enforcement through ExtremeCloud Universal ZTNA.

The Layer 2 Edge optimized 4120 is available in 24-port and 48-port models with 1/2.5 multi-gigabit and industry-leading 90W PoE support across all access ports, as well as 200Gb+ uplink capacity, making it an ideal wired and PoE power concentrator for high-density environments. The 4220 is a highly flexible enterprise Layer 2 wired edge solution and is available in 8, 12, 24 and 48-port models with gigabit and multi-gigabit (1/2.5/5Gb) access ports, up to 90W PoE and 4 x SFP+ uplink ports.

Executive Perspectives

Scott Day, Director of Network Services, Baylor University
“With cloud-managed Wi-Fi 7 from Extreme, we can continue delivering consistent, secure wireless across our campus while adding new educational resources for students like AR/VR, remote guest lecturers and live video streaming without buffering, lag or an impact on day-to-day operations. The security, bandwidth and lower latency aspects of Wi-Fi 7 give us the peace of mind that when we add new devices to the network, they won’t compromise performance or security. When paired with Extreme AIOps, we get the extra boost of rapid deployment, simple management and reduced IT tasks. The simplicity and flexibility allow us to focus on the experience and not worry about the deployment.”

Bob Laliberte, Principal Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group
“The combination of return-to-office and IoT initiatives is creating demand for robust, reliable and performant Wi-Fi environments. Fortunately, Wi-Fi 7 delivers the requisite speed, density, reliability and low latency to improve the performance of applications and devices, while also enhancing network security. Extreme’s new Wi-Fi 7 access point is another extension of its cloud-led wireless portfolio and will have a significant impact on throughput, particularly in high-density environments. Leveraging Extreme’s cloud-based management will drive greater operational efficiency, and the improved connectivity, reliability and responsiveness of the Wi-Fi 7 access point will ensure better end-user experiences, as well as boost overall productivity across the organization.”
