Extreme Fabric and Verkada: Where Better Security Meets Opportunity

From glittery Vegas casinos to educational institutions, camera systems are a critical piece of physical security infrastructure for most organizations. But as customers of Extreme Networks and Verkada know, it’s critical to have a network that’s capable of supporting state-of-the-art video surveillance applications and their Power over Ethernet (PoE) requirements.

If data generated by many PoE camera systems flows across poorly designed and bandwidth-starved networks, the full potential of surveillance data is sadly lost. And when the critical elements of today’s security infrastructure can't function to their true potential, organizations can be left vulnerable.

To avoid these risks and enable networking and security teams to strengthen their organization’s security strategy, Extreme Networks and Verkada have joined forces to provide a joint solution that directly answers the challenges of cloud physical security.

Our why: answering the call for better security and performance

This is scalability and resilience, elegantly integrated in a simple and automated way. Now, partners can quickly deploy and maintain large IP security camera networks at scale, leveraging automations built into existing network infrastructure.

This speeds deployments and simplifies scaling with:

• No more manual configurations
• Applications that run up to 3X faster than before
• No need for on-site network teams or inconvenient maintenance windows
• Streamlined management that reduces required protocols and touchpoints

Seamless physical security on another level

Verkada gains enhanced security and elasticity when combined with Extreme Fabric. Zero touch provisioning of Verkada cameras on Extreme’s Fabric network allows security camera zones to elastically and automatically adjust. Whether infrastructure is removed, added, or moved, cameras are always assigned to a secure multicast-enabled segment— no matter where they connect to our Extreme Fabric network.

That means that zones automatically contract or expand, shifting effortlessly and securely as the demands on the network (and the size and scope of the camera network) shift, enabling easy scaling of network video streams and reliable, always available video surveillance.

Let’s break some (physical security) barriers

The barriers that once limited what physical security and access control systems could do evaporate when organizations harness the power of Extreme Fabric and Verkada.

Legacy networks are complex and don’t often integrate well with today’s physical security and the bevy of cloud-based technologies and software platforms that maximize their benefit. But with Verkada, powered by Extreme Fabric, your security camera zones can elastically and automatically adjust with zero-touch provisioning.

The possibilities are endless, opening new business opportunities in so many verticals:

• Education – K-12 and higher education
• State and local government
• Retail
• Healthcare
• Manufacturing
• Oil and gas
• Entertainment and stadiums
• Property management

Unlock new opportunities in these and many other markets with cloud physical security products that integrate beautifully with a powerful multicast network—for scalable, resilient surveillance systems that protect organizations.
