Extreme Networks

Like Applied Communications, Extreme Networks takes innovation very seriously. Since its start in 1996, Extreme has focused on creating a culture of innovation, encouraging employees to go beyond the usual solutions.

Extreme Networks is responsible for many innovations in the networking industry and going beyond conventional thinking was essential to these accomplishments. One measure of their success is that these innovations have been embraced by enterprise IT managers and service providers, including a number of innovative Applied Communications customers. In fact, Extreme Networks was among one of the first companies to:

  • Introduce Gigabit Ethernet products that were tested at full wire-speed with zero packet loss.
  • Offer patented Quality of Service (QoS) capability on IP/Ethernet networks.
  • Deliver carrier-class Ethernet for metro area networks.
  • Offer patented network level resiliency protocols for IP/Ethernet networks.
  • Deliver a unified solution that allows wired and wireless devices, applications and equipment to share the same infrastructure and management tools.
  • Deliver a truly modular switching operating system for enterprises and metro service providers.
  • Introduce a voice-class modular switch for the network edge.

Now, as voice, video and data converge, network designers everywhere are posing the all important question—What will it take to implement a converged IP network that improves productivity of diverse users who are accessing the network with a variety of devices, while meeting budget restrictions and government mandated security regulations?

With meaningful insight and unprecedented control, Extreme Networks can help customers with these demands—merging together converged applications, diverse user groups, multiple device types and security mandates.  Their innovative spirit, outstanding products and customer commitment, combined with a history of building some of the largest networks in the world, has given them a unique perspective on solving tough network challenges.  Learn more >
