Extreme Networks

Extreme Networks, founded in 1996, provides end-to-end, cloud-driven enterprise networking solutions. The company's stated aim is to reduce complexity in enterprise networking by unifying networking, security and artificial intelligence within a single platform. It operates globally and serves more than 50,000 customers, including organisations in education, healthcare, government, retail, hospitality and manufacturing.

Its principal product, Extreme Platform ONE, is described as the industry's first fully integrated AI-powered networking platform. It brings together wired and wireless access, SD-WAN and network security, providing visibility, control and automation across the whole network. The underlying technical work spans cloud-driven networking, artificial intelligence and machine learning, network security, SD-WAN, wired and wireless access, and network automation and visibility.

The company describes its founding purpose as pushing the boundaries of networking technology, with an emphasis on making networks simpler, faster, more agile and more secure. In practice this means reducing IT complexity and eliminating fragmented infrastructure, and applying AI and machine learning to turn networks into assets that support innovation and growth. Engineering and technical roles are therefore oriented towards a product portfolio built around cloud-managed networking, automation and applied machine learning.
