As a supplier of fabric networking, Extreme offers a portfolio of Ethernet and IP fabric solutions. Whether to transform a campus, data center, metro, or WAN,  Extreme Networks Wired Access - Switches (ExtremeSwitching) fabric technologies aim to ensure a faster, more flexible, and more secure foundation for businesses.

Extreme Networks Wired Access - Switches

Ethernet switches are hubs in an Ethernet wired to the computers and the network devices. Unmanaged switches possess no configuration, but managed switches can create subgroups, manage speed, or monitor and report activity.

We are using Extreme Networks Wired Access - Switches for Core Routing as well as for Edge devices. These switches are 1GB switches as well as 10GB fibre switches. we are also using Extreme Networks Wired Access - Switches for WIFI 6 as well.

Core Routing
Edge Devices
VOIP integration
Cloud IQ monitoring

Cloud IQ integration is limited on some switches

Since implementing our core switching 10GB and edge switches we have been able to eliminate our FC switching infrastructure for our SAN. This has been without any downtime.

Cloud IQ is a great tool that brings the platform together holistically.

Yes. Need the level of support providentheough this level.

Each time a raise a ticket the support staff are always very engaged at finding a resolution.

We use Extreme Ethernet Switches for our access switch infrastructure, which provides connectivity to our wireless access points, VoIP phones, workstations, etc. It provides reliable, fast, and an easy to manage ethernet switch solution. It especially allows our access points to have the power and speed required, thanks to 802.11at PoE and gigabit ports.

Cloud management
SFP+ uplinks
Stacking capability
Robust CLI

Cloud management is limited in features.
Requires firmware update via serial cable to connect to cloud.
Improved port configuration.

Easy to use
Reliable
Strong performance
Same management as Extreme WiFi

Improved reliability of our switching infrastructure
Increased security

Extreme [Ethernet Switches] are used in all campus buildings for the entire organization. Edge switches are located in each IDF room and then all home run to an Extreme core switch in the main datacenter. The edge switches are in a stack which gives us redundancy. We also power the wireless access points via PoE. Extreme's network policy management allows us to control security access down to the individual port. The switches allow us different configuration options for how we want to implement network security.

The core switch performance is top notch.
The hardware is long-lasting. You can expect to get at least 7 years life with minimal hardware issues.
Extreme has long history and is the bleeding edge of technology advances.

They are working on it, but a single console to manage the policies across all switches.
For those with a Cisco background, the CLI commands are different with Extreme so you have to get used to that. Nothing necessarily wrong though.
If you want a chassis core switch/router then those are becoming less available and won't find many options with Extreme.

Stability / Reliability
Performance
Ease of management

Extreme [Ethernet Switches] have a long-life. You can easily get 7 years in main production life depending on when you buy in the product life-cycle.
Extreme [Ethernet Switches] are expensive, no doubt, but we also don't have "weird" network problems or other issues with the network randomly going down.
If you use fabric connect switches then the ease of managing many switches is of no concern.

We're using it in multiple roles, Core Datacenter Network Switching; Office Distribution (LAN) Switching and Database Switching.

It is managed by 1 Team, but used across the whole org.

It solves the problems of solid ROI, scalability &amp; redundancy. Also solved is the top notch support and interoperability with differing vendors.

Ease of configuration by intermediate staff.
VRRP/Redundancy.
Support's depth of knowledge and follow through to resolution.

Improved Extreme Management Console UI.
More robust CLI auditing/logging.
Easier log harvesting for adverse events.

Very long service life with support.
Minimal support.
Low rate of components failures.

Aruba Networks Wireless LAN (WLAN), PRTG Network Monitor, SolarWinds IP Address Manager (IPAM)

Four years ago, we upgraded our entire network to Extreme switches, Access Points, and controllers. It replaced an older outdated mixed network. We have been very satisfied with the uptime and performance

Uptime has been fantastic. We have had no issues with our switches shutting down or crashing
Policy, We have the ability to enforce Policy at the port

Tech Support
Their support website is very difficult to navigate.

Downtime due to switching has decreased and/or became a non-issue.
