SAN JOSE, Calif., May 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The network is
the gateway to digital transformation, yet many organizations are
inhibited by rigid and restrictive technology that prevents true
innovation and growth. Future-forward enterprises are abandoning
monolithic, one-size-fits-all networking products in favor of
flexible solutions built and packaged for the specific needs in
their business. Recognizing this, Extreme Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq:
EXTR) today announced Extreme Elements™, a combination of software,
hardware and services that can be mixed and matched to create
customized solutions for enterprises in every industry.
Extreme Elements are components of Extreme's Smart OmniEdge™,
Automated Campus™ and Agile Data Center™ solutions – underpinned by
human and machine intelligence – that give customers the building
blocks they need to create autonomous networks capable of learning
and self-correcting, and ultimately an autonomous enterprise where
architecture, automation, and human intelligence operate in
harmony. Unlike other networking architectures, Extreme Elements
are intrinsically secure, and offer multi-vendor support in an open
and standards-based ecosystem. Analytics, automation, security and
IoT tools are the glue that bring distinct elements together, and
include:
- Extreme Management Center™
-
- Network management software gives IT centralized management and
end-to-end visibility, ensuring smooth operations and fast problem
resolution.
- ExtremeAI™ Security
-
- New application leverages machine learning and artificial
intelligence to deliver deep visibility and detection of malicious
traffic, real-time monitoring of IoT devices for behavioral
anomalies and automated remediation.
- Extreme Workflow Composer
-
- Network orchestrator allows organizations to implement
automation at their own pace with turnkey, customizable or
do-it-yourself network workflow automation, all supported in
multi-vendor network environments.
- Extreme Software-Driven Infrastructure
-
- State-of-the-art edge, campus and data center solutions
enhanced with next-generation x86-based intelligent appliances,
including the ExtremeCloud Appliance™, ExtremeSwitching™ X465
premium, stackable multi-rate gigabit Ethernet switch and the
forthcoming ExtremeAccess™ platform — all of which offer container
support to deliver computing power right to where you need it.
- ExtremeAnalytics™
-
- Network and application analytics software enables IT to
understand which applications are running on the network, who is
using them and the response time for each application so they can
quickly detect anomalies and optimize application performance, from
the edge to the data center and into the multi-cloud.
- Defender for IoT™
-
- Endpoint security solution empowers enterprises to securely
deploy unsecured IoT devices, while isolating them from other
services. Defender for IoT can be deployed on any network and is so
easy to use even non-technical staff at schools, hospitals,
retailers and hospitality venues can use it to isolate and protect
both wired and wireless IoT devices from cyberattacks.
Software and hardware Elements are complemented by a robust
portfolio of services and support provided by Extreme via its
Professional Services organization and its global partner
community, and underscored by a collaborative, customer-driven
approach. Anything is possible with the right combination of
Elements.
Extreme Elements are on display in full-force at the Extreme
Connect User Conference this week in Nashville, Tennessee. For more details, click

Executive Perspectives
Nabil Bukhari, Executive
Vice President, Products, Extreme Networks
"For too
long, networking vendors have allowed infrastructure to become a
roadblock to customers' most innovative ambitions. We're
introducing a powerful, self-driving network, fueled by Extreme
Elements, that will allow enterprises to finally pursue the bold
transformation projects they always wanted to. Leveraging our deep
expertise in advanced, agile networking, and combining it with
artificial intelligence and automation, we're giving our customers
the tools they need to deliver extraordinary human experiences.
It's a new era of networking."
Pierre-André Rulmont, Vice President, Information
Systems, Brussels Intercommunal Transport Company / Société
des Transports Intercommunaux de Bruxelles (STIB)
"The number of
people using public transportation in Brussels is constantly rising, making it a
real challenge for our systems to scale and for our people to
manage operations during peak periods. With Extreme Elements such
as Extreme Fabric Connect, we've integrated manual and
automated processes to build a robust, scalable video surveillance
network – called Mission Critical Network – to transport
1000's of multicast video streams and support up to 15,000 IP
cameras to control the traffic and ensure public safety.
Ultimately, we've enabled real-time automated control of metro
traffic, improving system uptime for our customers and freeing up
IT resources to focus on creating new services."
Andrew Grimm, Vice
President of Information Technology, Bowen Center
"From
the staff we employ to the innovative projects like telemedicine
we're piloting, Bowen Center is a different kind of healthcare
provider, and we need a different kind of network — one that fits
us. A one-size-fits-all networking solution simply doesn't
cut it. By combining a range of Extreme Elements that suit our
specific needs, we can focus less on network management and more on
providing the best and most secure patient care possible."
Bob Laliberte, Practice
Director and Senior Analyst, Enterprise Strategy
Group
"Modern enterprises face a complex set of issues –
from IoT proliferation to sophisticated security threats to data
overload. Traditional networking technologies haven't helped
businesses navigate these issues – they've exacerbated them.
Extreme's decision to embrace automation and artificial
intelligence is an important step for optimizing network
environments for current and future needs. As enterprises spanning
all industries take the next step in their digital transformation
journeys, it will require a mix of services, software, hardware and
automation solutions. Extreme recognizes this reality and Elements
provides organizations a path to transformation and autonomous
networking."
