Visionary has partnered with Extreme Networks to deliver an integration of Visionary’s PacketAV Matrix Series with Extreme’s network Fabric solution, in a means to simplify AV network deployment and management.

Visionary is the first company to being Extreme Fabric Attach to professional AV endpoints.

Some benefits of this include plug-and-play deployment, dynamic flexibility, enhanced security and performance and scalable growth.

Extreme Fabric Attach is a feature within Extreme Fabric that eliminates manual steps by enabling devices to automatically announce their requirements to the network.

Therefore, the network then provisions these devices with the correct settings.

Technology West Group owner Richard Reisig has deployed Visionary’s PacketAV Matrix Series with Extreme Networks’ Fabric across three major resort properties on the Las Vegas Strip, spanning nearly 3,000 endpoints.

Visionary chief operating officer Scott Freshman says that Richard’s was instrumental in the integration and partnership.

“He recognised the potential of Extreme Fabric for our deployments and brought the concept to our team,” he says.

“From there, our engineers collaborated with Extreme Networks to bring this idea to life and this partnership has not only transformed AV network management but has also set a new benchmark for the industry.”

Extreme Networks SVP of product management Dan DeBacker says that this partnership will set a new standard for seamless and efficient integration between AV and IT.

“AV systems are critically important for event experiences, but can become time consuming to manage,” he says.

“With Visionary’s AV-over-IP integrated with Extreme Fabric, organisations with even the most complex AV systems will be able to eliminate hours of manual configuration time while improving performance and increasing security.”
