Are you looking for a simple and efficient way to manage your network? Extreme Networks might have exactly what you're looking for. They have a tool that makes life easier called the Extreme Management Center.

The system is easy to work with and has excellent security. It continually works to fight off cyber-attacks and notifies IT immediately whenever a network issue arises, allowing the end user to have a much smoother experience. This tool provides real-time analytics with extensive information on user activity to help make informed decisions. It also allows for administrators to create customer-driven experiences through a combination of two systems. Complexity is eliminated with a unified view of the entire network through a single pane of view. All in all, this application suite strives to create an easier and trouble-free experience to help manage your network in an automated way.
