ExtremeWireless WiNG Azara Cloud

Azara extends the ExtremeWireless WiNG 5 architecture to combine the proven functionality of Extreme Networks’ enterprise-grade WLAN with the simplicity and flexibility of managing WLAN infrastructure from the cloud. Along with a true enterprise-class network that is scalable and reliable.

The freedom of Azara is possible because of the ExtremeWireless WiNG enterprise-class access points (APs) with built-in intelligence. These APs deliver the highest quality, availability, and performance – on the cloud or on-premises. Azara takes access to a new level.

Azara includes a powerful set of network management tools that allow administrators to access network controls from anywhere -all they need is a connection to the internet. Configure, monitor, and manage multiple site networks from the unified Dashboard. Azara supports ExtremeWireless WiNG enterprise-grade 802.11ac access points through a centrally managed SSL secure tunnel over the internet.

High Availability and Redundancy

Azara’s cloud infrastructure is built on a public cloud infrastructure and supports major regions across the globe:

* Azara Cloud services are provided from the nearest available region; varies per geographical location of your sites and data residency requirements

* Redundant services are deployed across multiple data centers to achieve high availability within each region

* Service is backed by 99.99% cloud platform and application uptime

Unlimited Scalability

Azara is built to scale and be elastic:

* Built-in architecture controls allow for scaling resources and spawning additional instances to meet demand

* Our DevOps team continuously monitors the performance and traffic patterns of the infrastructure and can scale resources to meet any predictable or unpredictable spikes

Increased Security

Protected by perimeter firewall and IPS that prevents unauthorized access to any resource in the infrastructure, systems and applications are continuously monitored for any perceived or actual security breaches and configured to alert the Security and DevOps team:

* QoS policies can leverage the application context to enforce policies, prioritizing business critical applications and blocking others based on IT policies to improve the overall performance of the wireless network

* Updates to the cloud infrastructure are subject to stringent vulnerability scans

* Periodic penetration tests are performed regularly on the infrastructure

* No user data traffic passes through the cloud; there are secure tunnels between the end points and cloud infrastructure, and Azara is hosted in PCI and HIPPA compliant data centers

* Azara Dashboard supports two-factor authentication, fine-grained control, and access restrictions based on IP addresses and other attributes – preventing unauthorized users from accessing the account
