Aerohive <\/a>is a leader in cloud management, AI and machine learning. It was among the first companies to offer controller-less Wi-Fi and cloud network management, including cloud-managed Wi-Fi and network access control (NAC), and today is the second leading provider of Cloud Managed Wireless LAN Services. It recently delivered the industry’s first trio of Wi-Fi 6 access points, along with the industry’s first pluggable access point. Aerohive has a global footprint of 30,000 cloud wireless LAN customers in verticals including education, healthcare, state and local government, and retail. This acquisition will bring new automation and intelligence capabilities to Extreme’s Elements portfolio. It will expand Extreme’s technology leadership in Wi-Fi and NAC, adding cloud-managed Wi-Fi and NAC solutions to complement its on-premises Wi-Fi and NAC technology, driving Extreme deeper into key verticals and presenting numerous opportunities for cross-sell and up-sell within the combined portfolios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this month we broke <\/a>the news Aerohive had updated its MSP portal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many companies are looking to cater to the channel and MSP market with offerings that make their solution better than the competition. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Extreme expects to gain new SD-WAN capabilities, in all expanding its total addressable market by a total of\u00a0$1B\u00a0in a market with a CAGR of 19% 2019 through 2022.\u00a0At a time when many of Extreme’s customers and partners are turning toward as-a-service\/subscription models to reduce costs and gain efficiencies, Aerohive will expand Extreme’s mix of revenues to approximately 30% from subscription recurring revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Aerohive,\u00a0Extreme will offer customers and partners more choices for cloud and on-premises wired and wireless technology, and an industry-leading solution for cloud-based network management \u2013 all from a single vendor and backed by its award-winning, insourced services and support team. Post-acquisition, customers and partners of Extreme and Aerohive will be able to mix and match a broader array of software, hardware, and services Elements to create networks that support their unique needs and that may be managed and automated from end-to-end \u2013 from the enterprise edge to the cloud \u2013 to advance their digital transformation efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an interesting aside – one of the spokespeople we got to know and like at Aerohive was Abby Strong. She recently moved to Extreme and we broke the news<\/a> in May that the company was building the autonomous enterprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is this acquisition an interesting coincidence? Perhaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is some overlap in the products but we see the acquisition as synergistic and it should hopefully benefit customers and resellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
