Introducing Extreme Platform ONE: A Radically Simplified Approach to Enterprise Networking

A non-controversial opinion for many IT professionals is that managing and securing the network has become increasingly complex in 2024.

While cloud platforms and smartphones have transformed computing and mobile app experiences, enterprise networking remains burdened by the challenges of managing legacy systems, hybrid environments, and scaling bandwidth and support.

Compounding those concerns is the proliferation of siloed management and security applications, each with its own set of complexities and fragmented licensing models. In our recent CIO Insights survey, 58% of IT leaders expressed heightened challenges around managing and securing these devices and protecting them against threats. ZK Research found that 80% of IT decision makers believe the network alone is more complex than two years ago.

Moreover, the promise of AI, which was supposed to revolutionize operations and deliver ROI, remains unfulfilled as it is similarly siloed within individual applications, preventing it from delivering its full potential. In our research, 32% of IT leaders admitted that they have not seen significant ROI from their AI investments. Forbes recently backed this up, highlighting how "Siloed data confines access, resulting in restricted visibility into business operations…impeding the full potential of AI."

Across all organizations, this complexity is slowing progress, draining productivity, and holding back innovation, and the need for a unified approach that brings networking, security, and AI together has never been more essential.

The good news is, we’ve gone to extremes to ensure there is a solution to these challenges and the overwhelming demand from IT leaders for an integrated enterprise networking platform.
