Extreme’s AI Expert technology will let customers pose natural language queries about network issues, for example. A query such as “show me all network anomalies,” will generate specific charts and other details about a customer’s network, what anomalies might be causing problems, and what a customer can do to address them, according to Extreme.
AI Expert works by collecting data from a combination of Extreme’s public repository, knowledge base and customer network details. It pulls and combines data from applications and devices across the network, including information from third parties such as Intel, to establish intelligence related to performance and experience, Extreme stated.
Platform ONE isn’t just a repackaging of the company’s core products, Bukhari said.
For example, the company has completely redesigned the management of its Extreme Networking Fabric so customers, for the first time, can get a complete visualization of the networking, topology and service level layers, Bukhari said.
With Platform ONE, customers can figure out, in real time, where the traffic for a specific user or an application is flowing in the network. In addition, Extreme has enhanced the visualization of third-party devices, such as through built-in integrations with Intel and Microsoft, Bukhari said.
“We are adding a lot more correlation between security and networking to help customers more quickly spot and analyze security breaches, remediate them or isolate them in the network automatically, without human intervention,” Bukhari said.
