“Even though it is a huge change, switching vendors, specifically when you're looking at wired and wireless infrastructure across major organizations, I didn't have any issues after working with Extreme. They were collaborators. They were partners.”
– Deepak Sharma
Director of Infrastructure and Operations, Florida Gulf Coast University​
“Middle of July was when we placed the order for the core switching. And I think it was here in three weeks and we had it installed the next week. We made the decision for the layer two and the access points in mid-September. It was here well before Thanksgiving, and we had residence halls functioning by Thanksgiving and the rest of campus up by Christmas. It was extremely fast from decision to implementation.” 
– Katrina Yeung
CIO, Allegheny College​
“The partnership with Extreme - my favorite part is the customer service and support we get. It’s very rare these days - I have worked with a lot of different vendors and as things change, that personal and caring customer service side usually is the first to go. But Extreme is always right there, they listen; they want to hear the good, bad, and the ugly.” 
– Matt Vincent
Assistant Athletics Director, UAA/University of Florida​
“Modern technologies like shortest-path bridging, there’s just nobody that could compete with Extreme. Everything is in one place to see it, react to it, and to monitor it." 
– Jon Ambrosia
Enterprise Network Specialist, San Diego Community College District
