The results are in! Gartner has released their 2015 Magic Quadrant for Wired and Wireless LAN Access Infrastructure. With very exciting news, Extreme Networks announces their positioning as the furthest vendor in the “Visionaries” quadrant for “Completeness of Vision.”
A Magic Quadrant maps a vendor’s position in a market defined by Gartner. The quadrant has a vertical axis that measures a company’s “Ability to Execute” and a horizontal axis that measures “Completeness of Vision.”

The Gartner Magic Quadrant research report is intended for use in conjunction with Gartner’s “Critical Capabilities for the Wired and Wireless LAN Access Infrastructure,” and uses the same vendor inclusion criteria. Extreme Networks is placed in the top 3rd of vendor scores for all use cases.
According to Gartner, “a vendor in the Visionaries quadrant demonstrates an ability to increase features in its offering to provide a unique ad differentiated approach to the market. Visionaries will have innovated in one or more of the key areas of access layer technologies within the enterprise (for example, convergence, security, management or operational efficiency). The ability to apply differentiating functionality across the entire access layer will affect their position.”
This move highlights Extreme’s commitment to providing customers with a broad range of high quality, software-driven wired and wireless solutions. We believe this recognition is also validation to Extreme’s strength and focus in supporting the needs of the mobile enterprise.

Positioned as a “Visionary” is a huge accomplishment for Extreme as we work hard to provide a unique and differentiated approach to the market with innovative solutions to meet tomorrow’s needs.
Did you also know that Extreme is one of the top 17 vendors with a combined revenue derived from Enterprise WLAN, software and applications, and campus Ethernet switching? Extreme’s ability to apply differentiating functionality across the entire access layer had a positive effect on our position in the Magic Quadrant.
