SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Extreme Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR), a leader in cloud-driven networking, announced today that it has been named a 2019 Gartner Peer Insights Customers' Choice for Data Center Networking. The company received a high 4.7 out of 5 rating among customers across many different verticals. Gartner defines Data Center Networking vendors as those providing hardware and/or software solutions that deliver connectivity primarily within enterprise data centers. The Gartner Peer Insights Customers' Choice distinction is based on feedback and ratings from end-user professionals who have experience purchasing, implementing and/or using the product or service.

Extreme data center solutions, including ExtremeSwitching™, Extreme Fabric Automation, and Extreme Management Center™ software, deliver the automation, visibility, and flexibility needed to make digital transformation a reality. End users cited Extreme's commitment to customer success, responsive and hands-on support, and comprehensive and mature capabilities as key reasons for choosing Extreme.

Here is a sampling of what Extreme Networks customers are saying:

"Extreme switching has been a perfect fit for our network. The products are dependable and allow for large scale ease of management. Their portfolio of switches fits many of our different needs from the core to the edge. Extreme has always maintained excellent product and support for us." - IT Manager, Education

"Extreme makes every customer feel like the most important customer. They go that extra mile to constantly check in and make sure you have what you need to be successful." - Director of Technology, Services

"I have worked with the legacy Nortel/Avaya switching lines for a long time and have been very happy to see these grow and integrate under Extreme. The fabric technologies provide a unique way to do things that stretches across campus, WAN, and data center treating them as one unit instead of multiple environments to be glued together." - Technical Engineering Specialist, Healthcare

Insight provided into our network allows for faster troubleshooting and better planning and decision making when it comes to re-design and expansion of our existing infrastructure.
