Many technology vendors have used artificial intelligence to transform their products. This is evident in areas like unified communications, contact centers and cybersecurity.

Much of its research and development efforts have focused on bringing the portfolios of core Extreme together with the businesses it has purchased, such as Avaya Networking, Brocade Data Center, Motorola Wi-Fi and Aerohive.
