Extreme Networks has announced the limited availability of its new enterprise networking platform, Extreme Platform ONE, which brings together a range of AI technologies—conversational, multimodal, and agent-based—into a single interface aimed at reducing complexity in enterprise IT operations.
The platform is positioned as an effort to consolidate disparate tools and workflows into one unified system. By integrating AI across key layers of the network stack—from visualization to support automation and access security—Extreme aims to reduce manual network management tasks by up to 90%. While AI in network management isn’t new, the company’s combination of different AI models with a centralized workspace is intended to create a more responsive, task-oriented user experience.
At the core of Platform ONE is a digital workspace tailored for cross-functional teams. It replaces multi-tool workflows with a single interface that supports real-time collaboration, from IT administrators to executives. The AI-driven environment promises to cut down operational steps—for example, reducing eight clicks to one—and accelerate task completion across monitoring, troubleshooting, procurement, and planning.
The platform’s Service AI Agent is built to handle diagnostic tasks, gathering logs and analyzing telemetry in seconds. It can also initiate auto-remediation or escalate unresolved issues by opening support cases autonomously. For enterprise IT teams managing large or distributed environments, this feature aims to reduce resolution times significantly and maintain consistent service levels without adding headcount.
Extreme also highlights deep visualization as a key differentiator, claiming Platform ONE offers comprehensive insights across physical and logical network layers from a single login. With geo maps, fabric overlays, and topology views, IT teams can gain a clearer understanding of connectivity, policies, and performance across multiple locations.
On the security front, Platform ONE integrates access policy control via an identity-based engine that applies AI-assisted recommendations across users, devices, and networks. This approach is designed to simplify access configuration and reduce the burden on security operations by automating repetitive tasks and enforcing policies with fewer errors.
In terms of licensing, Extreme is offering what it calls an “all-in-one” structure. This includes a centralized dashboard for renewals, hardware recommendations, and software trials, all intended to streamline asset management and minimize administrative friction.
Though still in limited release, the company reports that over 130 organizations are already using the platform, including healthcare providers seeking scalable network management across multiple sites. Feedback from early adopters points to increased operational visibility and easier scalability as key benefits.
General availability of Extreme Platform ONE is scheduled for the third quarter of 2025. While the company positions this launch as a major leap in enterprise networking, broader adoption will depend on how well the platform performs in real-world environments where IT teams must balance automation with control and trust in AI-driven systems.
