In chess, the opening move sets the tone for the match, influencing game strategy and the path to success. Similarly, in technology, your network serves as your first move – the foundation upon which all subsequent technologies are built. It shapes your strategy, directs your operations, and ultimately defines your organization's journey to success so you need a vendor that can help you make winning moves.

Each year, Gartner, a company that delivers objective insight to organizations, evaluates vendors in the networking space across the completeness of their vision and their ability to execute. Extreme has once again secured a spot in the Leaders Quadrant of the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN for the sixth consecutive time.
