Extreme Networks this week previewed an AI marketplace where it plans to offer a curated catalog of AI tools, agents and applications. Called Extreme Exchange, it’s designed to give enterprise customers a way to discover, deploy, and create AI agents, microapps, and workflows in minutes rather than developing such components on their own, the vendor says.
“AI is transforming enterprise productivity and breaking down silos with agentic solutions that automate repetitive, error-prone tasks to chat interfaces that turn thousands of pages of documentation into instant answers,” wrote Nabil Bukhari, president of AI platforms and executive vice president and chief technology officer with Extreme, in a blog about the Exchange preview. “Yet, AI sprawl is accelerating, inundating enterprises with countless agents and apps that have unclear ROI. Many tools lack flexibility, are complex to deploy, and demand costly upskilling. Inconsistent procurement, pricing, governance, and monitoring across vendors create friction and remain major barriers to adoption.”
With Exchange, customers will be able to more easily find AI tools built for networking and business use cases that offer plug-and-play simplicity. In addition, users can develop microapps that blend network and business data to deliver new insights and opportunities. Think of it as an app store for AI-powered networking, built for enterprise-grade reliability, security, and scalability, Bukhari stated.
