Extreme Networks Update on Prioritization of Shipments

Given the global supply chain challenges we are all experiencing, we’d like to provide the latest Extreme Networks guidance on the prioritization of shipments.

Shipments will be made to the customers that «Accept Partial» shipment terms, with the remaining shipments occurring when hardware becomes available. Please be aware that orders with «No Partials» shipment terms will not have inventory held and/or aggregated and could therefore be delayed.

We are working with our distributors to establish more efficient processes, and we encourage our distributors and resellers to accept partial shipments.

Services will not be impacted negatively; services will begin after the last shipment of an order with the option to request to extend the start date by 90 days after shipment is complete.

Please work with your customers and distributor to allow partial shipment on your orders.

Questions? Please contact your distributor.

Existing Ipanema Partners: Ipanema SD-WAN Integration Update

We’ve reached a new milestone in the integration of the Ipanema business. We are pleased to announce that Ipanema’s products will be transferred onto Extreme Networks’ systems effective January 17, 2022. This means that the Ipanema SKUs will be visible on the price files, with some restrictions. For example, legacy Ipanema products are only orderable for specific customer projects and not intended to be held as stock items.

Legacy Extreme Partners: if you have any questions or have an SD-WAN opportunity, please send an email to AcquisitionsIssuesSales@extremenetworks.com.
