options
Technology
The NX 7500 Integrated Services Platform utilizes Extreme's
advanced WiNG 7 operating system, which distributes intelligence
across the entire network. This architecture enables each network
element to make independent routing decisions, eliminating
bottlenecks associated with traditional centralized controllers.
The platform supports modern security protocols including 802.11w
for protected management frames, IPSec VPN tunnels, and role-based
firewall policies. The modular design incorporates a multi-core
network processing engine for flexible feature deployment without
hardware limitations.
Working Principle
The NX 7500 operates as a centralized management controller while
distributing intelligence to access points throughout the network.
When deployed, the platform automatically discovers and adopts
compatible access points, establishing a hierarchical management
structure. The WiNG 7 OS enables each network element to assess
traffic conditions and determine optimal routing paths in
real-time, maintaining quality of service and security policies
across the entire network. For organizations with multiple
locations, the platform can function as either a site controller or
Network Operations Center (NOC) controller through the ONEVIEW
management system.
Applications
The NX 7500 Integrated Services Platform is ideal for:
- Medium to large enterprise campus networks
- Educational institutions with extensive wireless requirements
- Healthcare facilities requiring secure, reliable connectivity
- Retail environments with high-density client demands
- Multi-site organizations needing centralized management
- BYOD implementations requiring robust device management
