Why Partners and Distributors Continue to Choose Extreme

Our channel partners don’t just provide networking products, they understand each customer’s unique story and build a solution that supports their future goals. For example, one story might be a large public venue looking to turn their IT department into a profit center that would enhance the visitor’s experience. Another story might be a manufacturing facility or warehouse looking to modernize its network to create a consistent infrastructure across the organization to improve efficiency and performance.

We are so proud to have a network of partners that align with and support our vision of the Infinite Enterprise. Together, we are future-proofing networks through solutions that focus on reliability, scalability, cost efficiency, and ease-of-use.

At Extreme’s Ignite 2022 Global Sales and Partner Conference, we had the opportunity to speak with several partners and distributors and get their thoughts on what it’s really like to work with Extreme.

Two key themes we heard throughout the interviews are:

1. The support, training, and services we offer to our Extreme Partners and Distributors provide them with the knowledge and confidence to solve our customers’ complex problems and set them up for success over the long term.

2. Extreme Partners and Distributors highly value our cloud-focused portfolio of products and solutions and feel that they align with their future business goals. We’re excited to spotlight these Extreme Partner stories below. We hope you find them enlightening – we certainly do!
