RSA teams up with Extreme

Extreme Networks has announced that it has joined the RSA Secured Partner
Program to certify interoperability between its ExtremeXOS operating system and
the RSA enVision security information and event management platform from RSA,
The Security Division of EMC. Certification will establish technical
interoperability to promote more pervasive, network-wide security solutions.

Extreme Network's next generation modular operating system, ExtremeXOS,
delivers cutting-edge security features, including awareness of user and device
identity, authentication, encryption, integrity and protection, flexible
file-based policy language, and XML across Extreme Networks complete portfolio
of high performance BlackDiamond and Summit switches.

“Extending network and security functions throughout the network
infrastructure and surrounding platforms is a win for our mutual customers,”
said Huy Nguyen, Director-Product Marketing, Extreme Networks. “Utilizing
intelligent flow data and event information from our switching platforms, across
the backbone and edge of the network, and extending interoperability to RSA's
enVision platform, provides increased visibility into security and network
events, allowing network administrators to respond quickly, accurately and
decisively.”
