SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Extreme
Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR), a cloud-driven networking company,
today announced it is positioned as a Leader by Gartner, Inc. in
the Magic Quadrant for Wired and Wireless LAN Access
Infrastructure, published on November 4, 2020, authored by
Bill Menezes, Christian Canales, Tim
Zimmerman, and Mike
Toussaint. This is the third consecutive year Extreme has
been positioned as a Leader in this annual research report.
According to Gartner, "A vendor in the Leaders quadrant will
have demonstrated an ability to fulfill a broad variety of customer
requirements through the breadth of its access layer product
family. Leaders will have the ability to shape the market and
provide complete and differentiating access layer applications, as
well as global service and support. Leaders should have
demonstrated the ability to maintain strong relationships with
their channels and customers and have no obvious gaps in their
portfolios."
Prior to being named a Leader in this report, Extreme was named
a 2020 Gartner Peer Insights Customers' Choice for Wired and
Wireless LAN Access Infrastructure for the second consecutive time.
The company received a 4.9 out of 5 rating as of the date of this
press release, among customers across multiple verticals, including
healthcare, education, and communications.
Since the last Magic Quadrant report published in 2019, Extreme
launched ExtremeCloud™ IQ, a machine learning and
AI-driven cloud management platform that simplifies
onboarding, configuration, monitoring, managing, troubleshooting,
alerting, and reporting for wired and wireless network
infrastructure devices. The platform is unequaled in its ability to
provide administrators with a 360-degree view of device, client,
application, and network health and performance. It is the
industry's first end-to-end cloud management platform, the first
cloud networking management architecture to be both cloud-hosting
agnostic and cloud operating system agnostic, and is the first
cloud platform to offer unlimited data, setting a new standard for
access to cloud data and insights.

Meyercord, President and CEO, Extreme Networks,
