OneFabric™ FROM ENTERASYS
As cloud computing, virtualization, and the “consumerization of IT” continue to be more prevalent
in today’s networks, the delivery of applications to end users has become more complex, less
reliable, and less predictable. OneFabric from Enterasys is an innovative architecture that provides
simplicity, scalability, and control for complex IT environments. OneFabric enables you to rapidly
scale your network with your business, without sacrificing high performance or low latency.
By embedding intelligence into every network device—from the data center to the edge—only
OneFabric provides globally enforced, role-based policy controls for rate limiting, prioritization,
and filtering at the application layer, based on the identity of end users, applications, or devices.
OneFabric is the first and only “virtual-ready” network fabric developed for growing, high-density
environments, resulting in predictable application delivery from data center to edge.
Bottom-line Benefits
• Deliversapplicationsacrossvirtualized,highlymobilenetworks—simplyandpredictably
• Reducescomplexitywithcentralizedmanagementandautomatedprovisioning
• LowersITcostsbyeliminatingdisparate,patchworkmanagementsystems
• Integratesseamlesslyintolarger,morecomplexmultivendornetworks
• Guaranteesservicelevelagreementstobusinessgroups—whileenablingcollaboration
across IT teams
OneFabric is an extensible,
standards-based architecture
that provides a unified network
environment, resulting in simple,
predictable, and reliable application
delivery across the entire enterprise.

REALSOLUTIONFORAVIRTUALWORLD“ As we continued to virtualize our
environment, while also becoming
more highly mobile, we struggled to
manage each virtual machine and
device with its own set of provisioning
and security requirements...Enterasys
Data Center Manager, now integrated
in OneFabric Control Center, provides
us the automation necessary to
appropriately provision and secure
each device. Providing that level
of automation and visibility across
the entire network is imperative to
manage the changing ever-evolving
nature of our network”
