EXECUTIVE INSIGHT
The value is that it is simple to do , but it is also easiest to manage . You can manage all of it from the same place in our cloud management . We announced our ‘ always-on ’ capabilities in the cloud because all experiences today are always on . We [ have ] added lots of capabilities in our cloud to enable that always-on experience .
From a Wi-Fi point of view , we are the first vendor that gives you a seamless deployment , indoor and outdoor on Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 , so the 6 gigahertz spectrum .
In this day and age , you can ’ t really have any conversation without talking about AI . AI is a topic that excites you and scares you , and most of the time in equal amounts because it ’ s too big . People don ’ t really know where to start . So we take these brand new exciting technologies and wrap them in a practical , usable , secure way so our users can start using it today for the use cases that they understand .
That is the essence of who Extreme is . We just did that with generative AI ( Gen AI ) via our Extreme AI Expert . It takes this complicated world of AI , and brings it down to something that is absolutely practical , so you can start doing it tomorrow , and then your use cases will grow with it .
Q . ONE OF YOUR UPDATES IN APRIL 2024 WAS ABOUT EXTREMELABS . PLEASE TELL US ABOUT THIS .

» Whereas Extreme AI Expert is a tech preview by our Extreme Labs group rather than our product group ,

Extreme Labs is our incubation centre . It ’ s the innovation centre . It ’ s always working on newer technologies . We ’ ve had it for a while , but we have never really exposed it externally .
We thought that it would be really useful to engage our customers and partners in that innovation process before it gets productised .
Technology is moving so fast that for a lot of people , there ’ s not going to be enough time to think about it , build it , productise it , ship it , get feedback on it , and then do it again . So Extreme Lab is a platform that squeezes all of that – while we are building it , we are pulling in our partners and our customers and we are getting feedback and evolving .
We are super excited about exposing Extreme Labs to the rest of the world .
