Recognized as Leader for sixth consecutive time
for ability to execute and completeness of vision
Extreme Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR), a leader in cloud
networking, today announced it has been named as a Leader by
Gartner, Inc. for the sixth consecutive time in the 2024 Gartner
Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN
Infrastructure, published on March 6, 2024, authored by Tim
Zimmerman, Christian Canales, Nauman Raja and Mike Leibovitz. Of
the 12 companies in the Magic Quadrant, Extreme Networks was named
a Leader for both vision and execution.
Extreme has continued to innovate across its product portfolio
since the publication of the previous Magic Quadrant, including
introducing the company’s first Wi-Fi 7 access point, the
ExtremeCloud™ Universal ZTNA network access solution, cloud-managed
4000 Series Universal Switches and ExtremeCloud Edge, the
industry’s first networking cloud continuum.
“We believe Extreme's solutions are unmatched in helping
customers find new ways to deliver better business outcomes across
their organizations,” said Ed Meyercord, President and CEO at
Extreme. “Customers love our unique enterprise Fabric solutions
because they are purpose-built for the entire network and offer
enhanced security with hyper-segmentation to help minimize the
potential blast radius of a lateral attack. Competitors’ IP Fabric
solutions are designed for data centers and not enterprises. We can
deploy and provision Fabric 11x faster than any other vendor.
That’s why Extreme’s Fabric is the most widely deployed in the
industry. Further, Extreme eases the transition to cloud by
seamlessly managing third-party hardware, eliminating the need for
a full rip and replace every time a customer wants to refresh.
Finally, our flexible licensing has been a game-changer because we
make it simple while competitor solutions make it complex,
confusing and costly. Extreme removes the friction associated with
enterprise networking and is proud to be recognized as a Leader by
Gartner for the sixth consecutive time.”
Why Customers Choose Extreme
Extreme continues to innovate at the intersection of AI,
networking and security. Unique capabilities include:
- Industry’s Only End-to-End Network Fabric: Extreme’s
network Fabric makes it easy for customers to connect wired,
wireless, SD-WAN and third-party devices across the entire network,
with built-in security and automation that delivers improved
operational efficiency, faster time-to-service and simplified
operations. Extreme offers the industry’s only end-to-end network
fabric, enabling customers to quickly and easily set up segmented
networks while keeping network management simple for IT teams.
- Simplified Cloud Management with AIOps: Network
operations have never been simpler or more cost-efficient with the
ExtremeCloud IQ cloud management platform. Customers can
significantly reduce time-to-deployment and time-to-resolution with
the networking industry’s only AIOps-powered digital twin
capabilities, available through ExtremeCloud IQ CoPilot. Customers
can also manage third-party devices using ExtremeCloud IQ, reducing
costs when making incremental network upgrades.
- Secure, Resilient Networking: Security is engrained in
every aspect of the Extreme portfolio, from the inherent security
of Extreme Fabric to recent developments like ExtremeCloud
Universal ZTNA. In addition, ExtremeCloud IQ is the only cloud
platform currently ISO 27001, ISO 27017 and ISO 27701 certified.
Extreme prioritizes security across its solutions portfolio,
enabling customers to build security into their infrastructure
instead of seeking point solutions.
- Flexible platforms and simple licensing: Extreme offers
the networking industry’s only Universal Platforms, which give
customers the flexibility to support multiple use cases based on
evolving needs by simply changing the software or feature set.
Extreme also offers the industry’s simplest licensing model, so
customers only pay for what they need and use, and licenses are
portable across devices and deployment options. Both unique
offerings reduce hardware obsolescence and overall costs for
customers while future-proofing infrastructure.
In addition to being named a Leader in this report, Extreme has
also been recognized as a Gartner® Peer Insights™ Customers’ Choice
for Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure every year since 2019.
Here are some of the things customers have cited about Extreme:
- "ExtremeCloud IQ is [the] perfect solution to [create a]
reliable and secure wireless network to handle much more
simultaneous connections. [We can] easily access the device
console, add the devices to Extreme’s cloud, update and configure
devices within a single console." – Senior Executive,
Manufacturing
- "Our experience dealing with the Extreme team has been
outstanding as they understand the kind of projects that we deliver
and their typical requirements. Their sales and pre-sales teams are
very cooperative and impart the right knowledge and design the
right solution." – Director of Sales, Retail
- "No other vendor I have dealt with has provided me with so much
direct support and assistance. Usually, it’s left to the reseller
to assist; however, Extreme has allocated [its] own engineers to
oversee the design and implementation. [I also like] the simplicity
of the cloud-managed ExtremeCloud IQ [platform]." – IT Manager,
Government
