The U.S. Department of Energy operates highly distributed, mission-critical environments supporting advanced research, national security, and enterprise operations. Fragmented network architectures, rising security and compliance requirements, and lengthy procurement cycles challenge modernization efforts across National Laboratories and DOE agencies.
Extreme Networks delivers a standardized, automated networking foundation through Extreme Fabric—a unified architecture spanning campus, data center, and distributed locations. Built on IEEE 802.1aq standards, Extreme Fabric enables consistent network design across agencies and laboratories while simplifying deployment and day-to-day operations.
The solution provides built-in resiliency with sub-second convergence, security aligned to zero-trust principles through automated macro and micro-segmentation, and 32% lower total cost of ownership compared to traditional designs. Managed through Extreme Platform ONE, the architecture supports deployment flexibility—on-premises, cloud-managed, or hybrid models—while maintaining federal authorization pathways including FedRAMP compliance. DOE organizations standardize with confidence while addressing unique security, privacy, and data sovereignty requirements.
