SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Extreme
Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR) today announced that for the second
consecutive year, it has been positioned the furthest to the right
by Gartner, Inc. in the "Visionaries" quadrant in the Magic
Quadrant for Wired and Wireless LAN Access Infrastructure. In
addition to maintaining its position for "Completeness of Vision,"
Extreme also improved in its "Ability to Execute."[1]
According to Gartner, "a vendor in the Visionaries quadrant
demonstrates an ability to increase features in its offering to
provide a unique and differentiated approach to the market.
Visionaries will have innovated in one or more of the key areas of
access layer technologies within the enterprise (for example,
convergence, security, management or operational efficiency). The
ability to apply differentiating functionality across the entire
access layer will affect their position."
