The platform's AI-powered automation includes conversational, interactive and autonomous AI agents—to assist, advise and accelerate the productivity of networking, security and business teams—effectively reducing the time to complete complex tasks from hours to minutes. Extreme Platform ONE also offers the industry's simplest licensing.

"Today, IT leaders face mounting challenges — balancing increasing complexity and costs while driving innovation through digital transformation, cloud migrations and AI. With Extreme Platform ONE, we've reduced the complexity of networking in isolation, fulfilling the broken promises of automation through AI. We're delivering on the demands of our customers and partners to help drive their businesses forward with unprecedented efficiency and innovation," said Ed Meyercord, President and CEO, Extreme Networks.

Designed to simplify complex tasks from days to hours, and hours to minutes, Extreme Platform ONE delivers several key benefits to networking, security and business teams, including:

• Unified Experiences: Cross-team workflows via one composable workspace
  From network and security teams to finance and procurement, Extreme Platform ONE's sleek UI integrates workflows, services and data across domains, delivering customizable real-time information by persona. Customers can also build on the platform to add new capabilities through ecosystem integration partners—including Intel, Microsoft Security and ServiceNow, among many others.
  
• Deep Automation: Powered by built-in AI
  Extreme AI Expert transcends chatbots by delivering deep automation and flexibility —fulfilling the true potential of AI for all. Extreme Platform ONE's AI core adapts to every organization's trust level, offering conversational, interactive and autonomous agents to deliver efficiency in learning, planning, delivery, management, analysis and governance.
  
• Radically Simplified Licensing: Effortless at Purchase and Renewal
  Extreme Platform ONE relieves the pain of fractured licensing. It comes with comprehensive network and inventory management, AI and support services included in the subscription. Customers will have the option to also purchase or bundle security functionality. This will significantly reduce the burden on stakeholders and procurement teams – making purchasing and renewing subscriptions easier than ever.

"Extreme has challenged the status quo at every step in our journey— from leading the charge in cloud networking to simplifying licensing with Universal hardware. Now, Extreme Platform ONE offers cutting-edge technology and human-centric experiences that transform potential into reality—helping our customers embrace efficiency at every level. For example, in our internal benchmarking, we've reduced troubleshooting and remediation times by up to 95 percent. AI is at the core of this platform, but AI adoption will move at the pace of trust, and with Extreme Platform ONE, customers can take advantage of AI no matter where they are in that trust journey," said Nabil Bukhari, Chief Product and Technology Officer, GM of Subscriptions, Extreme Networks.
