Extreme Networks a Leader in 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure

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.”
