Executive Perspectives
Zeus Kerravala, Principal, ZK Research
"Distributed connectivity demands even better centralized management. In a post-COVID world, IT teams in every industry will need more control and better insights than ever before to ensure a secure, enterprise-grade connection for employees, wherever they are located, and cloud applications and management will be required to scale and adapt. Extreme is working closely with customers and partners to implement security measures that help build trust, and to enable an agile and productive workforce wherever employees may be signing in from. Its 4th generation, unified cloud management solution makes it all possible."
Ege Akpinar, CEO, Pointr
"As an expert in indoor location, many employers have asked us to help with safe building re-entry. They want to deploy contact tracing so they don't have to send everyone home when one person tests positive for COVID-19. And they are looking for 'people counting' capabilities so they can monitor for overcrowding. Pointr's WorkSafe application combined with Extreme's reliable in-building connectivity solves these contact tracing and occupancy management problems. Extreme's cloud-driven, end-to-end networking solution delivers a scalable and secure network foundation to support critical health and safety applications like ours."
Norman Rice, Chief Operating Officer, Extreme Networks
"As we grapple with more data, coming from more places, more connected devices, and more SaaS-based applications, the cloud is becoming fundamental to establishing a new normal. This means organizations need an even better cloud – one that delivers infinite 9s of uptime, dependable and uncorrupted data over an unlimited time span, and the industry's best security. That comes with a 4th generation cloud and Extreme is the only company that has one with its ExtremeCloud IQ platform."
