Pioneering smart city initiatives depend on an agile, adaptive, secure infrastructure. By deploying Extreme's Automated Campus™ solutions, including switching, management, and analytics technology, as well as Extreme Professional Services, the City can simplify network management, accommodate growing bandwidth demands, and support the use of forward-looking technologies as it continues its digital transformation efforts. Initial deployments will enable AI-powered IP camera implementations at 27 community centers to provide real-time anomaly detection.
Key benefits:
- Automated, software-driven infrastructure: With ExtremeSwitching™ hardware and Extreme Fabric Connect™, the
City of Memphis has the tools to implement cross-domain and workflow automation when and where it needs to within its massive network infrastructure – a critical capability as its 90-person IT team continues its aggressive digital transformation efforts. - Visibility, control, and security for IoT devices: In smart cities and large-scale IoT deployments with hundreds of thousands of mobile and IoT devices connecting to the network, the potential attack surface significantly expands, creating entirely new vulnerabilities to protect against. Extreme's Fabric Connect™ enables the
City of Memphis to segment its network according to traffic type and create private virtual networks to protect and isolate critical services without any IP reachability in or out. - Centralized management and granular analytics: In complex smart city environments, unified visibility and control is critical. Leveraging Extreme Management Center™, The
City of Memphis will gain a 360-degree view of the wired and wireless network, users, devices, and applications. With ExtremeAnalytics™, they'll have granular, real-time insights, allowing the IT team to determine which devices and applications are consuming the most bandwidth, and speed up troubleshooting.
