Extreme Networks CEO Reveals Why He Expects To Take Market Share From Cisco And HPE After Brocade, Avaya Acquisitions

How will Extreme position itself now to win more against Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)?

The more customer focus that we can bring across networking, and the focus as a pure-play networking provider, will allow us to be more competitive. Some of our competitors are a lot larger and somewhat fragmented. When we look at Aruba Networks and HP, HP has given up on large-scale enterprise data center – they're reselling Arista [Networks]. At the same time the Aruba wireless acquisition is now becoming more and more part of HP, which means they're losing their vertical focus and becoming more commoditized. We're seeing HP becoming more commodity-like which opens doors for us to become more specialized for enterprise customers.
