Extreme Networks has completed its acquisition of Avaya\u2019s networking business, taking on new customers, personnel and technology assets from Avaya in the process. Avaya revealed in March that it had\u00a0entered into an asset purchase agreement<\/a>\u00a0with the US-based Extreme Networks to sell its networking business after\u00a0filing for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in the US in January<\/a>. As part of the agreement, Extreme Networks served as the primary bidder in a section 363 sale under the US Bankruptcy Code to acquire Avaya\u2019s Networking business for a transaction value of approximately $100 million. With the deal done, Extreme Networks customers now have access to Avaya\u2019s networking portfolio.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou will now have access to Avaya\u2019s pioneering fabric technology for highly secure, simplified access, management and control of your campus data centre, core and edge environments,” Extreme Networks president and CEO, Ed Meyercord, said in an email to customers.<\/p>\n

“In addition, Avaya brings us a new family of high performance modular switches being launched this summer that provide expanded options for our chassis-based switching customers.”<\/p>\n

Meyecord also flagged, in a separate statement, that in addition to acquiring new networking assets that complement the company\u2019s capabilities, it is expanding its bench of talented and experienced employees, partners and networking customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve already seen great participation from new and existing partners and customers during our recent closing roadmap webinar, which is a key indicator of the mutual excitement for this deal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The acquisition is aimed at supporting the company\u2019s growth strategy to lead the enterprise networking market with end-to-end software-driven solutions for enterprise customers from the data centre to the wireless edge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
