15 June 2021

There’s no doubt that advanced data centers are playing a critical role in today’s hybrid cloud and data-driven era. To illustrate that fact, CRN magazine prepared a list of the 50 Coolest Software-Defined Data Center Vendors Of 2021. And yes, Extreme Networks is the top dog once again!

Let’s admit it: data centers were the silent heroes of the pandemic, as they basically kept the business world afloat by enabling millions of people to work and learn from home. Software-defined data centers are driven by automation, artificial intelligence, resource pooling, and virtualization to make facilities more agile and flexible. Innovation around these areas enables organizations to make better business decisions and help companies across the globe digitally transform.
To reflect that trend, CRN magazine broke down 50 coolest IT companies that are shaping the digital world by leading the software-defined data center market in 2021.

Here’s what the CRN’s editors had to say about Extreme:

Extreme Networks has been innovating in the software-defined networking world for years using artificial intelligence, machine learning and automation to optimize data centers via its broad portfolio of network switches. The company recently unveiled its new AI automation software ExtremeCoPilot, which lets customers execute sensitive tasks and monitor highly distributed network environments.

Although the need for software-defined data centers is key for many enterprises, some businesses are shifting their IT budgets toward cloud infrastructure services as an alternative to data center hardware and software. We’re glad to say that in addition to the recent honor, Extreme Networks has also been named one of CRN’s 25 Hottest IT Infrastructure and Cloud Companies of 2020.
