(Nasdaq: EXTR), a leader in cloud-driven networking, announced today that it has been named a 2019 Gartner Peer Insights Customers' Choice for Data Center Networking.

Gartner defines Data Center Networking vendors as those providing hardware and/or software solutions that deliver connectivity primarily within enterprise data centers. The Gartner Peer Insights Customers' Choice distinction is based on feedback and ratings from end-user professionals who have experience purchasing, implementing and/or using the product or service.

End users cited Extreme's commitment to customer success, responsive and hands-on support, and comprehensive and mature capabilities as key reasons for choosing Extreme.

Here is a sampling of what Extreme Networks customers are saying:

"Extreme switching has been a perfect fit for our network. The products are dependable and allow for large scale ease of management. Their portfolio of switches fits many of our different needs from the core to the edge. Extreme has always maintained excellent product and support for us." - IT Manager, Education
