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

MORRISVILLE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 5, 2026-- 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.”
