SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Extreme
Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR), a cloud-driven networking
company, today announced it will provide five valuable
applications at no additional cost to ExtremeCloud™ IQ Pilot cloud
management subscribers. Other providers typically offer these as
stand-alone applications at substantial additional charge,
increasing operational complexity and cost for customers. In
contrast, Extreme considers these applications to be "essential
services" and has added them to its ExtremeCloud IQ platform,
therefore enhancing operational efficiencies and reducing cost.
Over the next 90 days, customers and partners with a Pilot
subscription can access these essential services within the
ExtremeCloud IQ platform, providing IT departments with all the
tools required for complete network visibility, management,
control, and compliance from a single tool. Delivering on its
promise to make cloud networking effortless, Extreme is also
offering a free ExtremeCloud IQ mobile app, providing IT
departments with the ability to quickly and conveniently onboard
new devices from anywhere and at any time.
Key Benefits:
- Essential applications available within the platform enable
Pilot subscribers to do more for their organizations at no
additional cost, while potentially retiring overlay applications
used to deliver these services. Applications include:
-
- Extreme AirDefense™ delivers 55+ threat vectors for
Wireless Intrusion Prevention (WIPS) and adds Bluetooth and
Bluetooth Low Energy or BIPS as an Essential Service.
- ExtremeLocation™ delivers proximity, presence, and
location-based services for advanced contact tracing in support of
the location-intelligent enterprise.
- ExtremeGuest™ delivers exceptional guest Wi-Fi access
capabilities coupled with advanced network analytics for retail,
hospitality, and large event venues.
- ExtremeIoT™ delivers simple and secure onboarding,
profiling, segmentation, and filtering of IoT devices on a
production network.
- ExtremeCompliance™ delivers automated and comprehensive
compliance testing for PCI, HIPAA, and GDPR.
- The new ExtremeCloud IQ mobile app, available October 1, 2020 in mainstream app stores, allows
IT to quickly onboard new devices using just a serial number or
leverage a smartphone or tablet to scan barcodes or QR tags. They
can also manage and troubleshoot issues remotely, providing a
simplified, flexible experience. This feature is a particular asset
to those IT teams tasked with managing networks stretching across
wide geographic areas or hundreds of buildings.
- ExtremeCloud IQ platform licenses come in multiple tiers. The
Connect tier provides basic device management and is free with the
purchase of any supported Extreme hardware platform. The Navigator
tier now enables Extreme's established WiNG wireless solution to
interface directly with the cloud and provides visibility and
management features. The Pilot tier offers advanced infrastructure
management, reporting, and remediation tools, including ML and
AI-driven insights and analytics. Pilot tier subscriptions are
$150/year regardless of device under
management, and offers public, private, or on-premises deployment
methods.
- ExtremeCloud IQ is trusted to manage over 1 million network
devices each day and counting, making Extreme the fastest growing
provider of cloud managed networking solutions.
Executive Perspectives
Nabil Bukhari, Chief Technology Officer and
Chief Product Officer, Extreme Networks
"There is a
reason we have been named the fastest growing cloud networking
provider by leading analyst firms. It is because we put our
customers first, striving to take the work out of networking at
every turn. Not only do we offer unmatched cloud deployment
flexibility, unlimited data duration, and industry-leading uptime,
but we have now made our advanced, essential wireless intrusion
protection, location services, IoT management, guest access, and
compliance services available to ExtremeCloud IQ Pilot subscribers
at no additional cost, eliminating the need for disparate and
overlay applications. With this announcement, we are yet again
resetting the bar for providing maximum customer value."
Camille Mendler, Chief
Analyst, Enterprise Services, Omdia
"Modern enterprises
want a complete, experiential view of their network – spanning
health, users, devices, and more. Cloud-managed networking is the
best way to deliver on complex needs with the flexibility to adapt
to the unexpected, whether a threat or a new business opportunity.
Extreme's suite of tools can help support enterprise innovation as
much as performance and protection."
