A
vendor’s reputation speaks for itself; it is built on how well the vendor
delivers for its customers, employees, shareholders, and the community at
large. Building a reputation takes years of hard work and consistency.
“At Duxbury Networking we believe
that by surrounding ourselves with dynamic, like-minded suppliers, we will be
able to fulfil our promise to our customers to provide them with networking
solutions that ensure reliability, redundancy, scalability, visibility and
reporting capability. One such OEM is Extreme Networks, with the company
repeatedly featuring as a customers choice in Gartner’s Peer Insights,” says Pete
Nel, Business Development Executive at Duxbury Networking, local distributors
for Extreme Networking technology.
Testament to Extreme’s
customer-centric approach is evident in the recent news that for the fifth
consecutive year it has been selected as a Gartner Peer Insights* Customer
Choice for Wired and Wireless LAN Access Infrastructure. Achieving this
goal year after year requires constant effort and work to support customers,
listening to what works and what doesn’t, and taking their suggestions into
account, regardless of the industry or region they are in.
In May 2022, Extreme received a 4.7
out of 5 rating out of 546 customer ratings from around the world. 91% of
respondents said they would “recommend” Extreme’s solutions and services.
Customers cited several key reasons for choosing Extreme, including flexibility
and ease of new deployments, excellent IT support services, and strong
connectivity in demanding environments.

the potential to be both a rising star and a disruptor in enterprise
networking, bringing a streamlined architectural vision of wireless enterprise
connectivity and an agile culture to a number of key verticals.”
“We’re going to see a significant

solution where we’re the sole source vendor for networking around the major
service provider 5G networks around the globe,” says Extreme Networks CEO Ed
Meyercord.
