Extreme Networks Data Sheet: Ridgeline Service Advisor Feature Pack

Service Engineering

While converged networks allow a greater use of physical resources, they also introduce a layer of complexity which

can be dicult to manage. Ridgeline abstracts the complexity of multiple protocols running on the same physical

resources and empowers the operator to engineer the network for greater link eciency.
