Lee Badman is fairly bullish on Extreme Networks’ approach to network fabric architecture. Their approach starts with a whitepaper that actually outlines what such an architecture can actually be used for in an organization. Combined with their recent acquisition on Avaya, which Lee saw in detail at Wireless Field Day back in 2014, he thinks Extreme Networks makes the best case for a network fabric approach. They have a the track record, vision, and technical resources that are rarely found in competitors.

Since September, the company bought the data center networking business of Brocade, Avaya’s campus networking portfolio, and Zebra Wireless. For around $155 million, Extreme Networks has made themselves into a full stack networking company. Tom considers the implications.
