Extreme Networks Improves Position as a Visionary in the 2017 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Wired and Wireless LAN Access Infrastructure for the Third Consecutive YearSAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Extreme Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR) announced today that for the third consecutive year, it has been positioned furthest to the right by Gartner, Inc. in the "Visionaries" quadrant of the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Wired and Wireless LAN Access Infrastructure, October 17, 2017. According to Gartner, "A vendor in the Visionaries quadrant demonstrates an ability to increase features in its offering to provide a unique and differentiated approach to the market. A Visionary will have innovated in one or more of the key areas of access layer technologies within the enterprise (for example, convergence, security, management or operational efficiency). The ability to apply differentiating functionality across the entire access layer will affect its position." In addition, of the 21 vendors listed in Gartner's Peer Insights, Extreme is one of the highest rated vendors in Data Center Hardware Networking. As of October 18, 2017, Extreme has an Overall Rating of 4.8 out of 5 based on 65 reviews. We believe this highlights the strength of Extreme's service delivery differentiation with 100% insourced technical support. In the last year since the 2016 Magic Quadrant was published, Extreme has acquired Zebra Technologies Corporation's WLAN business unit, as well as Avaya Inc.'s networking business. It intends to complete its third acquisition of Brocade Communications Systems, Inc.'s data center networking business in Q2 of FY18.
