Extreme Networks is jumping into the SMB market with the launch of a new, low-end, cloud-managed switching line expected to become available for channel partners in April.
Extreme Networks revealed a new low-end switching product line for small and midsized businesses at the XChange Solution Provider 2017 conference today, using technology that the company acquired from Zebra Technology last year.
«For the first time in many years, Extreme is moving into the SMB space and delivering low-cost PoE and non-PoE stackable and non-stackable switches,» said Gordon Mackintosh, senior director of worldwide partner program and sales business development for Extreme. «These are going to be low-cost, stackable and standalone switching that will play perfectly in the retail and hospitality space and in the SMB market. »
In early April, Extreme will launch its new 200 ExtremeSwitching Series. The new series consist of a total of six Layer 2, gigabit switches and six Layer 3 switches that contain 12, 24 and 48 port options.
