FAQs
-
Enterprise networking is the combination of physical and virtual networks that connect users and devices to systems and applications in cloud and on-premises data centers.
-
An enterprise network is the secure infrastructure that connects users, devices, and systems to applications campuses, branches, data centers and the cloud. It includes physical elements like switches and access points, as well as virtual components such as virtual machines and virtual network functions.
-
An enterprise networking solution is a combination of hardware, operating systems, and cloud services that enable secure and high-performance connectivity across an organization.
-
Historically, AI for networking has referred primarily to a second-generation of AI-assisted network operations, supporting tasks such as anomaly detection. While this reduced the burden on network administrators to find and address problems in complex networks before those issues impact quality of service, its scope has been limited. Modern approaches to AI for networking now incorporate generative AI, machine learning, and other AI capabilities in a holistic approach for networking, security, compliance, procurement, and other workflows.

Several factors influence the cost of an enterprise network. Two key dimensions are the number of users and devices that will consume network services and the number and distribution of locations from which users and devices will consume those services. Floor space, wall materials, and other factors influence the cost of a wireless network, for example, to connect employees and guests to vital applications. The nature of the applications in use, such as video conferencing, financial, or medical applications, greatly influences the design requirements for wireless backhaul through the switching network. In turn, this affects the bandwidth requirement for the SD-WAN appliance that connects users and devices together, to data centers within the enterprise network, and to cloud apps and services. Costs add up quickly. Networking platforms have begun to emerge to help customers reduce the total cost of ownership for an enterprise network.

Enterprise networking solutions can help improve ROI by reducing both capital expenditures (CapEx) and operational expenditures (OpEx). Enterprise cloud networking delivered as a SaaS can greatly reduce the CapEx for on-premises hardware. An enterprise networking solution that offers third-party device management can further avoid or reduce the need for premature capital replacement. AI for networking can greatly reduce OpEx associated with planning, delivery, troubleshooting, and compliance efforts through automation. An enterprise networking solution with a network fabric can greatly reduce the cost of unplanned downtime, as well as the cost of planned maintenance windows. And an SD-WAN approach to internet connectivity can greatly reduce costs and improve network agility compared with the use of private WAN solutions. Enterprise networking decision makers often have the choice of best-of-breed solutions or platforms. "For many networks, the best investment is a platform approach with inclusive subscriptions that combine technology—such as AI—with technical support (often at an additional cost), operating system updates, and long-lifespan hardware that can be easily reused."

Extreme Networks provides enterprise networking solutions manageable from the cloud or on-premises that combine networking, security, and AI with wired, wireless, and SD-WAN network infrastructure. For example, Extreme offers Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 access points, and Extreme Platform ONE™, which enable cloud and AI-powered management of the entire network. In combination, Extreme’s portfolio pairs AI-powered cloud services that can greatly reduce OpEx for enterprise networking, and network infrastructure that leads the industry in terms of flexibility, resilience, and energy efficiency. Extreme’s enterprise networking capabilities can also reduce total cost of ownership. For example, Extreme Platform ONE™ reduces the time spent on manual tasks by up to 90%, it’s network fabric can help reduce downtime by up to 83%, and it’s unified, integrated approach to security can enable complete access security.
