Hey everyone,
I’ve been exploring ExtremeWireless (IQE) and its impact on wireless performance, but I’m particularly interested in how it integrates with SD-WAN solutions. Since SD-WAN is all about optimizing traffic flow across multiple WAN links, I’m wondering how IQE complements or enhances these capabilities in enterprise deployments.
Some key points I’d love to discuss:
- Traffic Optimization: How does IQE handle application-aware routing when working alongside SD-WAN policies? Does it prioritize traffic at the edge before SD-WAN policies take effect?
- QoS & Bandwidth Management: Does IQE improve traffic shaping for SD-WAN environments, or does SD-WAN already handle this effectively?
- Cloud Integration: Since Extreme Networks offers cloud-driven networking, does IQE work well with ExtremeCloud SD-WAN for better end-to-end traffic management?
- Security & Policy Enforcement: Can IQE enhance SD-WAN security features by intelligently directing traffic to specific security appliances or cloud security gateways?
- Interoperability with Third-Party SD-WAN Solutions: How well does IQE integrate with SD-WAN vendors like Cisco (Viptela), VMware (Velocloud), or Fortinet?
If anyone has experience using ExtremeWireless (IQE) with SD-WAN, I’d love to hear how it has impacted network performance, security, and overall user experience. Any challenges or best practices for ensuring smooth integration?
Looking forward to your insights!
