Extreme Networks Identity Manager Guida all'installazione

Extreme Networks Feature Brief

Challenges leading to reduced enterprise effectiveness:

• Handling access control of user accounts and

rights on-demand is labor-intensive

• Adapting access rights to changing organizational

roles is time-consuming

• Increasing network trafﬁc noise interrupts business

productivity and compromises network integrity

• Multiple-point security products, often added as a

way to segment the network, require lengthy

conﬁguration and manual labor

• Ensuring that regulatory compliance meets audit

guidelines is a complex process and requires

extensive preparation

Challenges leading to security and compliance deﬁciency:

• No transparency of enterprise-wide access rights

is currently available

• Firewalls’ enforcement points create more internal

network entry points with more complex policies

• Troubleshooting can take longer and amplify

security risks when multiple devices and applica-

tions are involved

• Implementing the compliance framework is

not automated

• Monitoring wrongfully accumulated access rights

is difﬁcult

The Solution

Extreme Networks® Identity Manager feature provides a

best-of-breed solution to bring user proﬁles, device,

location, and presence awareness to network managers

while enabling enforcement of corporate policies at

every network point of entry. Identity Manager provides

network-wide viewing and reporting of identities and

also helps administrators manage network-wide,

role-based policies for both users and devices. Applying

that intelligence consistently across the network enables

seamless mobility and on-demand access to applications

to maintain business continuity.

The Situation

As companies routinely handle extremely sensitive and private

information for individuals and businesses, they are also faced with

the challenge of ﬁnding ways to reduce operational risks associated

with governing the integrity, security, and privacy of the network

and data they manage. Not only does the challenge of identity

management move up and down the stack from the hardware layer

up to the business application level, but it also moves outside those

boundaries to the cloud and virtual computing environments.

The Challenges

Many businesses today are operating in a climate of strict

compliance, and are under increasing pressure to achieve

enterprise effectiveness. They struggle with managing access

rights for enterprise employees, outsourced staff, consultants,

and business partners across multiple systems, applications, and

platforms used for the business. Organizational changes and

rapid workforce growth create a challenge for IT departments in

consistently managing wide access rights for users while ensuring

access to the right applications at the right time and location.

Companies are increasingly driven by the need to ﬁnd cost-

effective ways to align to business processes, improve productivity,

and maintain application availability all while conﬁrming network

access requirements. For most enterprises, the ability to control

access and monitor the network user, device, and location is

currently very limited.

The Beneﬁts

Increase Network Availability Identity Manager reduces network noise by enabling switches at the network edge to enforce the right policies

at the right time, then applying those policies consistently across the network, based on user proﬁles.

Reduce IT Support Costs

for Enterprises

Identity Manager reduces time needed to locate users or devices in the network. EPICenter® network

management software and ExtremeXOS® network operating system provide extensive information about

identities and their locations, which can reduce IT support and troubleshooting time.

Reduce Compliance and Audit Costs Identity Manager helps to meet compliance requirements such as HIPAA for healthcare service providers, SOX

for enterprises, and those mandated for agencies and organizations in the Federal framework.

Industry Standards-Based Technology Helps in working with a diverse set of products from server, network equipment, and software vendors.

Leverage Existing Network

Infrastructure

To deliver robust network access control existing Summit®, BlackDiamond® 8K, BlackDiamond 10K, and

BlackDiamond 12K series switches in the network can be used. This increases ROI and can reduce the

total cost of ownership.

Integration with Business Processes

and Custom Applications

ExtremeXOS InSite SDK provides the XML APIs to monitor and manage identities, as well as role-based

policies from independent third-party applications.

Reduce Training and Other Overhead ExtremeXOS delivers a consistent CLI framework across the switching products portfolio, and EPICenter

provides an intuitive user interface to quickly set up, provision and manage role-based policies.

The Technology

Identity Manager is available in the

ExtremeXOS 12.4 operating system or

later and EPICenter 7.1. Identity Manager

runs on the existing Extreme Networks

enterprise switching portfolio, eliminating

the need for a forklift upgrade. The

ﬂexible and modular architecture of

ExtremeXOS allows for gathering and

collecting attributes from different

sources on the network (e.g. IT

applications and servers), which helps in

constructing identities and correlating

information from multiple sources.

Role-based access control policies are

enforced by conﬁguration through

either EPICenter or the ExtremeXOS

based switch. An extensible framework

based on XML APIs is used for

communication between EPICenter and

the switches. When user or device

identities are discovered, the switch

determines if the identity can be placed

in one of the conﬁgured roles.
