This press release is an excerpt of a press release announced in Morrisville, North Carolina, USA on May 5, 2026 (local time). Please refer to the original here.
Extreme Networks (Headquarters: Morrisville, North Carolina, USA, Nasdaq: EXTR) today announced significant enhancements to Extreme Platform ONE™, providing intelligent, scalable, and secure enterprise networking solutions through expanded third-party device management and integrated security. Furthermore, the platform is further strengthened by the introduction of Extreme Agent ONE™, a new AI agent for enterprise networking.
Extreme Platform ONE was generally available in July 2025 as the industry's first all-in-one AI-powered networking platform. With this series of enhancements and new features, Extreme Platform ONE, through its collaboration with Extreme Agent ONE and the Extreme AI stack, provides the foundation for a new generation of adaptive, intelligent networks.
Third-Party Device Management:
Supports entire multi-vendor networks, from cloud to on-premises
Extreme Platform ONE supports hardware from other network vendors, enabling the detection, monitoring, and management of third-party devices within the platform, reducing tool sprawl, complexity, and costs. Customers considering migrating to Extreme can do so at their own pace without impacting their existing environment. Edge services within Extreme Platform ONE securely extend the platform's reach from the cloud to on-premises, streamlining configuration and policy enforcement from a single platform, thereby simplifying operations.
Extreme Platform ONE Security: Easily Achieve Zero Trust
Extreme Platform ONE Security integrates network and security workflows into a single, intuitive interface, enabling consistent policy enforcement, operational efficiency, and reduced authentication issues. It features built-in Cloud PKI capabilities such as certificate authority, lifecycle management, deployment, and updates, achieving identity-based zero-trust security that continuously authenticates users, devices, and applications. It integrates with major Identity Providers (IdP) and Mobile Device Management (MDM) platforms. By combining automated policy enforcement and certificate lifecycle management, it enhances security, reduces operational overhead, and provides end-to-end visibility without increasing complexity.
Extreme Platform ONE Enterprise Agreement: Simplifying Commercial Terms
The Extreme Platform ONE Enterprise Agreement simplifies how enterprise-level customers purchase, manage, and scale the platform. It streamlines procurement with a single, integrated agreement, and provides predictable costs and easy renewals through unified subscription terms and price protection. This new approach removes long-standing barriers in enterprise network construction and operation management, enabling seamless expansion, self-service management, and significant reduction in operational overhead.
Other New Features
Extreme Platform ONE includes the following new features, further enhancing the platform's value at no additional cost:
- Secure and flexible Wi-Fi Guest Access with multiple visitor onboarding and engagement analysis capabilities.
- Real-time tracking of assets, employees, and visitors with floor-level location accuracy and behavioral analytics.
- Centralized sensor management and security threat scoring across all locations with Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS).
Comment by Brandon Butler, IDC Network Infrastructure & Services Senior Research Manager:
Enterprise IT departments are looking for platforms that can deliver integrated, automated operations at scale, beyond fragmented tools and experimental AI deployments. A unified architecture that integrates agent-based AI, security, and multi-vendor management into a single operating model is precisely the answer to that demand. Advanced netw
