(COMTEX) B: EXTREME NETWORKS ONLY COMPANY TO WIN NETWORLD+INTEROP 'BE B: EXTREME NETWORKS ONLY COMPANY TO WIN NETWORLD+INTEROP 'BEST OF SHOW' THREE YEARS IN A ROW NEW SUMMIT7I INTERNET DATA CENTER SWITCH AWARDED 'Best of Best Grand Winner 1999' Along With 'Best of Show' for Enterprise Network Infrastructure ATLANTA, Sep 15, 1999 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Extreme Networks, Inc., (Nasdaq: EXTR), a leader in providing networking solutions for service providers and corporate enterprises, was awarded the prestigious "Best of Show" for Enterprise Network Infrastructure at the 1999 Atlanta NetWorld+Interop (N+I) convention, for its new Summit7i(TM) Internet Data Center switch. In addition to the category award, the Summit7i also received the coveted "Best of the Best Grand Winner" for all products introduced at this year's Atlanta show. Extreme Networks has received the "Best of Show" honor for an unprecedented three years in a row and is the only company to have ever won the "Best of Best Grand Winner" Award twice. Selected by a panel of editors from Data Communications and InternetWeek magazines, the "Best of Show" Awards honor the products and services that significantly provide technological advances in networking and telecommunications. "It is truly amazing for a company barely three years old to win the 'Best of Show' Award twice," said Gordon Stitt, president and CEO of Extreme Networks. "However, winning 'Best of Show' three times sets a new level of achievement never before witnessed in the industry." Extreme Networks won "Best of Show" in May 1998 for its Summit48 Enterprise Desktop Switch. Prior to that win, the Company received the honor in May 1997 for its first switching system, the Summit1 LAN switch. The Summit1 was also named the "Best of the Best Grand Winner" that year. The Summit7i Internet Data Center Switch Introduced at N+I this week, the Summit7i was designed to keep the Internet economy moving. The new switch helps ensure that information to and from the server -- the heart of the Internet economy -- flows. The Summit7i solves the problems that service providers and large corporate enterprises are facing today in server co-location centers: heavy traffic, limited real estate and maintaining a competitive edge. This new class of switch is uniquely positioned to support the heavy network traffic that travels to and from the thousands of servers residing in co-location centers. And, the Summit7i combines all the integrated co-location services into one switching system, eliminating the need to use multiple point products from competing vendors to obtain the same functionality of the Summit7i. In addition, the new switch executes these integrated co-location services at non-blocking wire-speed in the industry's highest density Gigabit switching package. Extreme Networks Extreme Networks designs, manufactures and sells high-performance LAN solutions that adapt swiftly to change and enable future applications for the new enterprise and service providers. The company's award-winning family of Summit(TM) stackable and BlackDiamond(TM) modular switching systems increase the flow of information and allow for future network growth. Extreme Networks' switching solutions are available through its authorized resellers worldwide.
