Extreme Solidifies Networking Leadership with Major Enhancements to Extreme Platform ONE

Key Terms

agentic ai technical

Agentic AI refers to computer systems that can make their own decisions and take actions without needing someone to tell them what to do each time. It's like giving a robot a degree of independence to solve problems or achieve goals on its own, which matters because it could change how we work and interact with technology in everyday life.

zero trust technical

Zero trust is a security approach that assumes no one, whether inside or outside an organization, should be automatically trusted. Instead, every access request is carefully verified before being granted, much like checking ID at every door rather than trusting someone just because they are known. For investors, it emphasizes the importance of protecting digital assets and data from potential breaches, reducing overall risk.

cloud pki technical

Cloud PKI is a cloud-hosted system that issues and manages the digital certificates and cryptographic keys that authenticate users, devices and software and encrypt data—think of those certificates as electronic passports and locks for digital systems. Investors should care because using a cloud PKI can lower the cost and complexity of securing infrastructure at scale, affect regulatory compliance and breach risk, and therefore influence operational reliability and the value of security-dependent products.

certificate authority technical

A certificate authority is a trusted organization that issues digital certificates—like online ID cards—that confirm a website, server, or company is who it claims to be. For investors, these certificates matter because they enable secure communications, reduce the risk of fraud or data breaches, and are often required for regulatory compliance; a revoked or compromised certificate can damage customer trust and expose a company to financial and reputational loss.

identity providers (idp) technical

An identity provider (IdP) is a service that creates, verifies and manages digital identities—usernames, passwords and access rights—so people and systems can securely log into websites and applications. For investors, IdPs matter because strong identity controls reduce the risk of security breaches, streamline customer and employee access, support regulatory compliance and can lower operating costs; think of an IdP as a trusted guard at a building entrance whose effectiveness affects a company’s reputation, uptime and legal risk.

mobile device management (mdm) technical

Mobile device management (MDM) is a system that lets organizations control, secure and update smartphones, tablets and other endpoints used for work from a central console. It matters to investors because MDM reduces the chance of data breaches, regulatory fines and operational downtime—like a remote lock, update and audit tool for a company’s digital keys—thereby protecting revenue and reputation. Broad MDM adoption can strengthen recurring revenue for software vendors and lower security and compliance risk for companies, affecting valuation.

wireless intrusion prevention system (wips) technical

A wireless intrusion prevention system (WIPS) is a network security tool that continuously watches a company’s Wi‑Fi signals, spots unauthorized devices or suspicious activity, and automatically blocks or isolates those threats. Think of it as a security guard for the airwaves that prevents attackers, rogue access points, or accidental misconfigurations from disrupting operations. For investors, WIPS matters because it helps reduce the risk of costly data breaches, regulatory fines, downtime and damage to reputation.

ai agents technical

AI agents are computer programs designed to perform tasks or make decisions automatically, often by learning from data and adapting to new information. They act like virtual assistants or robots that can handle complex activities without human intervention, which can help businesses and individuals save time and improve efficiency. For investors, AI agents matter because they can enhance decision-making and automate processes that influence markets and financial outcomes.

Autonomous AI meets integrated security, simple pricing, and third-party management to power the next era of networking

MORRISVILLE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Extreme Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR) today announced major advancements to Extreme Platform ONE™ including expanded third-party device management and integrated security, delivering a more intelligent, scalable, and secure enterprise networking solution. The platform is further enhanced with the introduction of Extreme Agent ONE™, a new class of AI agents for enterprise networking.

"Enterprise IT organizations are moving past fragmented tools and experimental AI deployments; they're demanding platforms that deliver integrated, automated operations at scale,” said Brandon Butler, Senior Research Manager, Network Infrastructure and Services at IDC. “A unified architecture that ties agentic AI, security, and multi-vendor management into a single operating model is a meaningful response to that demand. Advanced networking platforms are fast becoming a prerequisite for enterprises serious about turning AI investment into real outcomes, and vendors that deliver it are squarely aligned with where IT buyers are heading."

Extreme Platform ONE, generally available as of July 2025, was the industry’s first all-in-one AI-powered networking platform. With the latest set of advancements and new features, Extreme Platform ONE, in combination with Extreme Agent ONE and Extreme’s AI stack, delivers the foundation for a new generation of adaptive, intelligent networks.

Third-Party Management: Across Multi-Vendor Networks, from Cloud to On-Prem

Extreme Platform ONE now supports third-party hardware from other networking vendors, enabling customers to discover, monitor, and manage third-party devices within the platform, reducing tool sprawl, complexity, and costs while allowing customers switching to Extreme to migrate at their own pace without disrupting existing environments. Extreme’s edge service within Extreme Platform ONE extends platform reach securely from cloud to on-prem, offloading configuration and policy enforcement through a single platform.

Extreme Platform ONE Security: Zero Trust Without Complexity

Extreme Platform ONE Security now unifies network and security workflows in a single, intuitive experience, ensuring consistent policy enforcement, streamlined operations, and fewer authentication issues. With the addition of built-in Cloud PKI capabilities such as certificate authority, lifecycle management, deployment, and renewal, the platform enables identity-based Zero Trust security, continuously authenticating users, devices, and applications, while integrating with leading identity providers (IdP) and mobile device management (MDM) platforms. Combined with automated policy enforcement and certificate lifecycle management, organizations gain stronger security, reduced overhead, and end-to-end visibility without added complexity.

Extreme Platform ONE Enterprise Agreement: Simplifying Commercial Terms

The Extreme Platform ONE Enterprise Agreement simplifies how large customers buy, manage, and expand platform adoption. A single, consolidated agreement simplifies procurement, with co-termed subscriptions and price protection delivering predictable costs and easier renewals. This new approach removes long-standing friction in enterprise networking, enabling seamless expansion, self-service management, and significantly lower operational overhead.

Additional New Features

Extreme Platform ONE now also includes additional capabilities that further extend the platform's value at no extra cost:

• Secure, flexible Wi-Fi guest access with multiple visitor onboarding options and built-in engagement analytics.
• Real-time asset, employee, and visitor tracking with floor-level location resolution and behavioral analytics.
• Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS) delivers centralized sensor management and security threat scoring across all locations.

“Extreme is redefining the networking industry – we were the first to introduce an all-in-one AI-powered networking platform, and today we are continuing to reimagine what networks can do,” said Nabil Bukhari, CTO and President of AI Platforms at Extreme Networks. “With Extreme Platform ONE, we’re enabling enterprises to move from static infrastructure to intelligent, autonomous systems that drive the business forward. With these new features, the network isn’t just supporting operations, but actively accelerating innovation, resilience, and growth.”
