In the company's news yesterday,

Extreme Networks Inc. announced an agreement with Ixia (NASDAQ: XXIA),
a global provider of IP performance test systems, in which the two
companies will work together to integrate their products to boost
post-deployment service verification. The arrangement calls for the
integration of Extreme Networks' Ethernet switch platforms and the
ExtremeXOS modular operating system with Ixia's IxRave Converged
Service Verification Solution.

The companies believe the combination of features of all systems
involved will benefit enterprise users with visibility and insight
created by automated network service verification, validation, and
active troubleshooting. Additionally, the technologies will offer
observation of infrastructure readiness for traffic demands stemming
from data, voice and video communication.

"Working with Ixia to further the intelligence of the network with our
scalable Ethernet switching platforms brings greater value to customers
who desire real-time insight into the performance of their
mission-critical network services," Paul Hooper, chief marketing
officer for Extreme Networks stated in the press release. "Combining
the IxRave service verification system with ExtremeXOS, the industry's
first modular and extensible OS for carriers and enterprises, is an
exciting development and makes for an ideal way to build more valuable,
reliable and responsive IP networks."

The two companies are working side by side to deliver IxRave software
endpoints available in all Extreme Networks Ethernet switches, which
together will allow for faster, more accurate network problem
resolution for service providers.

"The combination of Ixia technology with Extreme Networks' family of
devices will be a major boon to service providers," Anupam Sahai, vice
president of marketing for Ixia stated. "Truck rolls will be vastly
reduced and technicians will no longer need to dive into the bowels of
their network. Service provider's support staff will quickly and
accurately diagnose problems down to the device, port and network."
