What are Universal Platforms?

Extreme’s Universal Platforms combine the power of cloud management with next-generation switches and access points that can support multiple deployment use cases through a simple change of the software or feature set.

Universal Platforms increase flexibility and reduce hardware obsolescence by allowing customers to gradually adopt new technologies or change their desired use case by changing the software or feature set and/or management system, while preserving the hardware and even the associated licenses.

Universal Platforms Simplify the Deployment Experience

With Universal, gone are the days of complex licensing and confusing warranty offers! Instead, licensing is poolable and portable, warranty is clear and consistent, and services and support is fully in-sourced and top ranked.

  • Poolable, portable switch software OS license: Bulk activated and centrally administered through the cloud
  • Poolable, portable management license: One price for any device with full portability across any device.
  • Single, consistent warranty: Across universal wired/ wireless platforms.
  • Trusted in-house services and support that provide flexibility, and outstanding 24/7 technical support.

Traditional Platforms

  • Hardware is tied to feature set / use case
  • Evolving to a new technology / use case= rip and replace
  • Complex per SKU licensing for switch software features
  • Complex per device licensing
  • Different warranties for wired/ wireless

Universal Platforms

  • Feature set is decoupled from hardware and can be changed
  • No rip and replace to evolve to a new technology /use case
  • Simple, poolable and portable switch licensing
  • One license for any device
  • Consistent warranty across universal wired/wireless platforms
