Technology Alliance will Extend Capabilities of Extreme AI Expert, Dramatically Enhancing Wi-Fi Connectivity, Performance and Security
MORRISVILLE, N.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Extreme Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR) announced it has formed a co-innovation alliance with the Intel® Connectivity Analytics Program to enhance native AI capabilities within its Extreme AI Expert™ solution, currently in technology preview within Extreme Labs™. This collaboration aims to help customers optimize network performance, detect security threats, personalize end-user experiences and reduce operational costs by leveraging network data, unique device data from PCs through the innovative Intel® Connectivity Analytics SDK and Generative AI (GenAI) to make networks smarter, faster and more resilient.
As the number of client devices continues to increase across all network environments, customers need improved visibility into device activity as well as a simplified way to manage devices from the data center to the network edge. Extreme’s partnership with Intel will deliver increased visibility into both network and client devices and will drive additional development of GenAI tools that enable customers to optimize the design, deployment and management of enterprise networking and security. These new features help to optimize network performance, dynamically adjust bandwidth to prioritize critical devices and improve security threat detection and issue resolution.
GenAI to Lower Operational Costs, Improve User Experiences
Introduced as a tech preview at Extreme Connect 2024, Extreme AI Expert combines documentation from Extreme’s knowledge bases with data from applications and devices across customer networks to provide insights and proactive recommendations around the design, deployment and management of networks. The partnership with Intel will incorporate Intel-connected device data to improve recommendations for customers and further extend Extreme AI Expert’s knowledge. Extreme expects to start integrating Extreme AI Expert into Extreme solutions later this year.
