Why Extreme Networks for Automotive Dealerships

Dealerships are becoming more digital, more connected, and more dependent on always-on systems throughout their showrooms, service bays, lots, and back offices. But most teams are modernizing with lean IT resources and rising security pressure. A simpler, more resilient network foundation helps dealerships reduce friction, protect critical operations, and deliver better customer and employee experiences.

IT Priorities in the Automotive Industry

• Customer experiences are now digital-first
• Service operations can’t afford downtime
• Security risks grow as endpoints expand
• Multi-site dealer groups need consistency across locations and teams
• Lean IT teams must do more with less while expectations keep rising

The Need for a Modern Network

• Digital showroom expectations (fast Wi-Fi, demos, modern in-store experiences)
• Service throughput and workflow dependency (apps, diagnostics, scheduling)
• Expanding security footprint (surveillance, access control, segmentation needs)
• New connected services (EV charging, mobile-first customer engagement)
• Centralized visibility and control across sites
