EXTREME NETWORKS PRESENTS CONVERGED NETWORK SOLUTIONS DRIVING GREEN I.T. AT CEBIT 2008

Extreme Networks set to demonstrate how its intelligent network solution contributes to reduced energy costs and eases network administration

SANTA CLARA, Calif.; February 26, 2008 – Extreme Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR) today announced that at this year's CeBIT, occurring March 4–9, Hannover Germany, the Company is showcasing its power efficient network capabilities, promoting solutions that contribute to a greener environment for corporate enterprises and service providers.

Extreme Networks will showcase its entire range of network edge and core Ethernet solutions that contribute to the Green IT movement, provide security functionality with performance and intelligence to meet IP convergence demands. Also present at its CeBIT booth, will be its European sales and technology partners, Alcera, Algol Europe, Alpine Energie, BMAnetworks, DANES Datennetzwerktechnik, GORDION, Innovative Datensysteme and Soapstone Networks.

"At CeBIT, Extreme Networks will demonstrate Green strategies that embrace the network and peripheral equipment connecting to it, such as IP phones, cameras and wireless access points, devices that can be inefficient and costly when the network lacks intelligence to manage them," said Jan Hof, regional marketing director for EMEA at Extreme Networks. "We will showcase how enterprises and service providers can make meaningful improvements with our solution and some effort, applying automation at the network edge."

Extreme Networks provides automation functionality with its Universal Port software, integrated in the ExtremeXOS™ operating system. This helps companies to achieve efficient operation and administration of terminal devices via a floor distributor. Administrators can use Universal Port to automatically shut down IP telephones, cameras or WLAN access points at night, at weekends or over holidays, thus significantly reducing the power consumption of the devices. Other administration processes can also be automated with Universal Port, enabling quick, cost-effective and error-free moves, re-installations and configuration changes to terminal devices.
