Extreme Networks Virtual Ipanema Engine VIPE-P by

Maintain control over critical application traffic in virtual environments with the Virtual Ipanema Engine from Extreme Networks. Designed for deployment as a KVM or VMware virtual machine, it gives infrastructure teams a software-based path to extend application visibility and traffic handling where physical hardware is not the right fit. This model is well suited for organizations standardizing on virtualization and looking to place network services closer to workloads. It supports environments where agility matters, but so does predictable performance under load. By running as a virtual machine, it can be deployed where capacity is needed without waiting on appliance procurement, rack space, or shipping cycles. For enterprise teams, the value is operational control. You can align the platform with existing virtualization standards while preserving the consistency required for branch, data center, or distributed application environments. It is a strong fit when the goal is to protect user experience and keep traffic behavior aligned with policy across changing infrastructure.
