The Combined Value of Extreme and Avaya
5
“Combining Avaya’s networking
business with Extreme Networks creates
a company with best-in-class products
that span the entire network… The
customer bases of both Avaya and
Extreme will benefit from this
combination, as they will have more
choices to address the needs of a world
where everything is being connected.”
“Customers should take comfort in the
fact that Extreme is a pure play with a
vision that's similar to Avaya
Networking's -- networks are too
complicated and too manually intensive
to meet the needs of a digital
organization.”
