The Extreme Tunnel Concentrator serves as a pivotal component in modern network architectures, providing scalable termination for thousands of Layer 2 GRE or IPSec tunnels originating from remote access points. By centralizing wireless traffic, it isolates data from management traffic, thereby extending the data center network to edge devices. Managed through ExtremeCloud IQ, the Tunnel Concentrator facilitates simplified provisioning, increased network resilience, and comprehensive end-to-end visibility and control. Its deployment on the Extreme Universal Compute Platform ensures flexibility and scalability, making it an ideal solution for highly distributed organizations seeking to reduce operational costs and complexity.

Features:

• Scalable Tunnel Termination: Supports up to 5,000 tunnels per instance, with each Universal Compute Platform host accommodating up to three instances, totaling 15,000 tunnels per host.
• Centralized Traffic Management: Aggregates wireless traffic from access points to the data center, isolating data from management traffic for enhanced security and efficiency.
• Simplified Provisioning: Utilizes ExtremeCloud IQ for streamlined deployment and management, reducing manual configurations and potential errors.
• Enhanced Network Resilience: Provides robust network performance with rapid failover capabilities, ensuring continuous service availability.
• Comprehensive Visibility and Control: Offers end-to-end oversight of network traffic, facilitating informed decision-making and proactive management.
• Flexible Deployment: Runs as a container application on the Extreme Universal Compute Platform, allowing for adaptable and scalable network solutions.
