SAN JOSE, Calif., July 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Extreme Networks,
Inc. (NASDAQ: EXTR) today announced the availability of a
customized application fingerprint for its ExtremeAnalytics™
solution developed to address the rising adoption of the Pokémon Go
phenomenon and its impact on network bandwidth. Millions of users
worldwide have downloaded the game and Extreme delivers a solution
that can provide customers visibility and control of the game's
usage over their networks – across the unified wired and wireless
edge.
With this fingerprint, customers can customize their analytics
database to identify the number of devices in use on a network and
reallocate bandwidth based on Pokémon Go activity. The fingerprint
is compatible with Extreme's on-premise and ExtremeCloud™
solutions, as well as certain standardized third party vendor
networks.
This fingerprint demonstrates the potential of the
ExtremeAnalytics solution to address the growing demand from
organizations looking to track, analyze and adjust their network
based on new, and sometimes viral, applications. At Super Bowl 50
alone, Extreme found that of the total 10 terabytes of application
traffic transferred during the event, half was consumed by two
applications alone. As mobile technology continues to advance and
augmented reality takes center stage, it will be crucial that
organizations are flexible and able to adapt to emerging trends
that could affect their networks.
The capability to utilize such fingerprint is available to
customers as a feature in ExtremeAnalytics updates.
