Cloud-driven networking firm Extreme Networks has claimed to be the first to offer “unlimited data” to its cloud customers.

Beginning July 1, all new ExtremeCloud IQ Pilot subscribers will have access to unlimited data for the lifetime of their subscriptions. Existing ExtremeCloud IQ subscribers will be upgraded to unlimited data in this calendar year.

Nabil Bukhari, chief Product and en- gineering officer, Extreme Networks said “make no mistake – data is king in our customer experience economy” and that adage is even more relevant on the road to a post-Covid-19 world. “The ability to collect, analyse and act on unlimited data provides significant advantage to organi- sations looking to capture mind and wallet share through better services and experiences,” Bukhari added. “Our AI- and ML-driven 4th generation cloud processes more than six petabytes of data and billions of management events each day. All of this data gives us the ability to provide better insights to our ExtremeCloud IQ Pilot subscribers, and they in turn can use this information to increase agility and ad- vance business outcomes.”

Among other things, enterprises will be able to use the unlimited data to gain access to historical data to inform future planning via a single, centralised management tool.
