The all-in-one AI-powered networking and security management platform already has more than 265 early adopter customers, according to Extreme Networks.
Extreme Networks on Tuesday announced the general availability of Extreme Platform ONE, the networking specialist’s unified management platform that’s instilled with AI.
Extreme Platform ONE, first revealed in December, boils down network and security management by bringing the tools into one platform for enterprises, including products from third-party networking and security vendors, such as Microsoft. The company said that as a result, up to 90 percent of manual work can be reduced and resolution times cut by up to 98 percent.
The platform already has more than 265 early adopter customers, Morrisville, N.C.-based Extreme said.
The typical networking or security professional logs into four to seven different applications. Extreme Platform ONE has AI baked in to radically simplify the network management experience by “composing” a workspace unique to the user, with every application they need in one place, the company told CRN.
“Extreme Platform ONE cements our leadership in AI for networking and sets a new benchmark for innovation. We’re turning hours of complexity into minutes of simplicity and delivering use cases that fundamentally change how customers manage and optimize their networks. Our partners see this as a huge opportunity, as it’s opening doors to bigger wins and faster time to value, especially as our competitors face disruption and portfolio uncertainty. As the first in our space to fully integrate AI into the networking experience, Extreme is setting the standard for innovation and market leadership, the networking specialist’s president and CEO, Ed Meyercord, told CRN.
The company at the same time Platform ONE was first introduced late last year also announced it was simplifying buying and licensing for end customers. Extreme Platform ONE now consolidates license, contract, and asset management into a single place for end users. This gives partners and customers real-time visibility into usage, renewals, support coverage, and device inventory across all sites and product lines, Extreme said.
The 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure report, which came out in June, listed Extreme Networks as a Visionary. The company, which was listed as a Leader in six of the last seven Magic Quadrant reports, noted that Gartner expects Extreme to invest in its Extreme Platform ONE strategy, but that the offering requires migration for the current ExtremeCloud IQ installed base.
The 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN was published before the general availability of Extreme Platform ONE.
