Fabric Comparison

[Andre_Brits_Kan]

Hi Community

I am looking for an Extreme Document comparing the Extreme "Automated Campus Fabric" with Cisco's "SD Access Fabric" and Aruba's "Dynamic Segmentation Fabric".

Does Extreme have such an comparison available that can be shared with the community?
Would be very use full when positioning the solution against the others.

Thx

You will be able to authenticate devices and Cisco has validated EXOS for everything but MDM and TrustSec ( https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/ise/2-7/compatibility_doc/b_ise_sdt_27.html#thirdpart... ) 

What features were you planning on using?

Are there limitations on your SD Lan product when it comes to ISE integration? Already have ISE and ACI, would like to know if we would run into any functionality issues with your product.

Thx Paul

I will reach out to the local Extreme SE, If I do not come right I will DM you.

Thx

Hi Andre,

Have a look at SD Access Fabric Deployment Guide: https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/solutions/CVD/Campus/CVD-Software-Defined-Access-Deployment-Guide-Sol1dot2-2018OCT.pdf
For me it seems to be a bit overkill with tons of things around, but it's just a quick peek. I'd like to see it live though. From some old notes I remember they had root-bridge for Multicast approach, which is farther from optimal IMO. Also at a time it was just for L2 services.
I didn't see Aruba's 'Dynamic Segmentation Fabric', just 'Dynamic Segmentation' what seems to be something else...?
IMO SPB + Extreme's enhancements is really a gamechanger, but gotta evangelize on this. 😉

Hope that helps,
Tomasz
