SAN JOSE, Calif., May 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Extreme
Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR), a cloud-driven networking company,
today announced it has been named as a 2021 Gartner Peer
Insights Customers' Choice for Wired and Wireless LAN Access
Infrastructure for the fourth consecutive year. The company
received a 4.7 out of 5 rating as of March 2021 among
globally representative customers across multiple verticals,
including healthcare, education, and finance.
Gartner defines the Wired and Wireless Access LAN Infrastructure
market as "comprising vendors supplying wired and wireless
networking hardware and software that enables devices to connect to
the enterprise wired LAN or Wi-Fi network." The Gartner Peer
Insights Customers' Choice is based on feedback and ratings from
end-user professionals who have experience purchasing,
implementing, and/or using the product or service.
Extreme's Wired and Wireless LAN Access Infrastructure
solutions, including ExtremeWireless™ access points,
ExtremeSwitching™ technology, and the ExtremeCloud™ IQ platform,
enable organizations to simplify network management through the
cloud and provide full network control. End users noted that key
reasons for choosing Extreme include excellent customer service and
support, ease of infrastructure deployment, and single pane of
glass network visibility.
Here is a sampling of what Extreme Networks customers are
saying:
"ExtremeCloud IQ is very easy to use and provides an
intuitive user interface. On the WLAN side of things, it's a much
better tool to use than traditional controller-based systems. Many
of the integrated tools provide additional value and insight into
our environment. We've used Extreme products for a number of years
and have been very happy with their performance, usability,
management, and support." – Chief Information Officer,
Education
"Extreme Fabric Connect allows for the seamless integration
of end to end networking. With the deployment of fabric
architecture and next generation VLANs (ISIDs), the end to end
configuration, deployment, and auto-attach features while not
having to touch the core nodes every time allow for ease of
management, advanced security, and micro-segmentation of network
services. There really is no going back when you see the power of
it." – National Manager, Network Architecture & Automation,
Healthcare
"Our experience with Extreme has been excellent. The OS is
full featured, intuitive, and stable. The hardware is reliable and
provides great flexibility. The management product gives us single
pane of glass insight into the network. On the few occasions we
need them, the support organization is responsive and proficient.
People in our organization don't even think about the network. It
has become a utility, like water or electricity. They just assume
it is there and working properly." – Manager, Network
Services, Education
"Over the last 18 months Extreme has been involved in up to
40 network changes/deployments for our company. From the placement
of orders through to GTAC support during multiple deployments,
Extreme has provided excellent customer service. They have been on
hand to answer queries and provide process documentation and
incident resolution." – Project Manager, Finance
"The ease in which Extreme makes locking down a network,
securing data, and analyzing data is remarkable. Dollar amounts
can't be quantified since support, product, training, make this
process a joy. EXOS is fantastic to work with, can't convince me
otherwise." – IT Director, Healthcare
"ExtremeCloud is a great network management tool that helps
provide great user experience with abilities like access driven
controls and advanced Wi-Fi controls. It leverages AI to wireless
network experience without the need of IT team monitoring all
activities. It is really helpful to optimize and diagnose network
resources to automate network management task flows. Overall, it is
a highly integrated tool that does not require complex setup or
infrastructure." – Project Manager, Services
Extreme Networks was recognized as a Gartner Peer Insights
Customers' Choice for Wired and Wireless LAN in 2018, 2019, and
2020. Extreme has also been recognized as a Leader in the Gartner
Magic Quadrant for Wired and Wireless LAN Access Infrastructure for

Executive Perspective
Ed
Meyercord, President and CEO, Extreme Networks,
Inc.

Gartner Customers' Choice for the fourth year in a row. One of the

end users. Extreme believes that network management should feel
effortless, and we are both honored and validated by feedback from
customers who say we have made their organizations more capable and
competitive by making it easier to get the most out of their
network."
