Technology Alliance will Extend Capabilities of
Extreme AI Expert, Dramatically Enhancing Wi-Fi Connectivity,
Performance and Security
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.
