Extreme Networks

Extreme Networks sells networking products across cloud, wired and wireless access, security and AI-driven operations. Its Extreme Platform ONE is pitched as an integrated AI networking product, joining wired gear, wireless, SD-WAN and security into one management layer. The company serves enterprises, state and local government, K-12 education and sports venues.

Extreme Platform ONE and AI operations

The platform is the company's main product, which it describes as the industry's first fully integrated AI networking platform. The company says it can cut manual tasks by up to 90 percent and offers the widest and deepest network visualization available. Its AIOps tools are used to model a network before changes are made and to reduce the time it takes to repair a fault.

Wireless access with Wi-Fi 6E and 6 GHz

Its wireless range runs from Wi-Fi 6E to a 6 GHz line-up suited to indoor and outdoor settings, and the company has released an outdoor access point it calls the first of its kind for high-density venues. Cloud managed wireless is part of the same range, with AI-driven performance and analytics.

Wired access, fabric networks and security

Wired access rests on an edge-core range that the company runs with consistent operations. The fabric network unifies, automates and secures a network from the data center to the edge. Network security is delivered through integrated zero touch and zero trust access controls, so that access is checked for each user and device.

Extreme Agent ONE for IT teams

Extreme Agent ONE is an AI helper for IT staff, which the company says can resolve issues much faster than before. The company presents it as an agentic tool that acts proactively and gives context-aware suggestions, and it says that tool is now generally available.

Sports venues, governments and schools

Among its customers are Liverpool Football Club, Major League Baseball, Manchester United, NASCAR, the NFL and the NHL, where Extreme provides Wi-Fi and analytics for fan experiences. Its wider customer base includes K-12 schools, state and local government, higher education, manufacturing and federal bodies. Extreme Academy offers training to help prepare people for technology careers.

Recognition from analysts

Gartner has named Extreme a leader for enterprise wired and wireless LAN infrastructure for five years in a row, according to the company's own reporting of the recognition.
