Extreme Networks launches unified platform powered by AI agents
Extreme Networks has introduced new capabilities within Extreme Platform ONE, integrating conversational, multimodal, and agentic artificial intelligence into a unified enterprise networking platform. The company states that Extreme Platform ONE now seeks to break down traditional divisions between networking and security, relying on AI agents to automate routine network operations and offering licensing models designed to simplify customer adoption and management. According to Extreme Networks, the platform can reduce manual workloads by up to 90 percent. AI functions are embedded at every stage, providing users with centralised access to product documentation, more than 30,000 Global Technical Assistance Center (GTAC) articles, information on vulnerabilities, training content, and further resources. The inclusion of AI Canvas allows for the generation of real-time dashboards, shareable insights, and visual reports in a matter of minutes, reducing the time investment associated with reporting activities. Ed Meyercord, President and Chief Executive Officer of Extreme Networks, said: "Extreme Platform ONE is transformative, saving customers hours, streamlining operations, and delivering insights that allow teams to act faster. And with 130 plus customers already on the platform, we're encouraged by the positive feedback and energised by the real-world results they're seeing as they unlock new levels of visibility, control, and efficiency across their networks." The platform features the Service AI Agent, which aims to accelerate problem resolution by up to 98 percent through automated diagnostics. The Service AI Agent is designed to collect logs, analyse telemetry, autonomously troubleshoot issues across both wireless and fabric environments, and, if customers opt in, auto-remediate incidents. In instances where escalation is necessary, the agent can automatically generate support cases and transfer them to GTAC without requiring customers to fill in forms or endure wait times. Extreme Platform ONE introduces a single workspace, which removes the need for staff to move between various applications. According to the company, this feature streamlines productivity by reducing complex interactions—stating that processes that previously required eight clicks can be accomplished with one. This workspace is intended for use across different organisational levels and departments, promoting collaboration through cross-team AI-assisted workflows. The platform offers visibility across multiple layers, including physical, access, fabric, and service layers, and provides comprehensive views via geo maps, network topology, and fabric overlays. Integrated orchestration and streamlined workflows facilitate planning, design, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis, contributing to the minimisation of network downtime. Security is integrated through ExtremeCloud Universal ZTNA, which delivers AI-assisted policy recommendations. These recommendations can be implemented in a few clicks, unifying policies across users, devices, locations, networks, and applications. The advisory AI agent supports the validation of access requests, recommends group and policy usage, ensures consistent enforcement, and provides setup guidance in real time. This is intended to reduce manual efforts and risk through consistent, automated security processes. Licensing for the platform has been designed to be straightforward, according to Extreme Networks. The company describes an all-in-one licensing approach that allows for seamless upgrades and renewals, complete transparency into assets and contracts, and the availability of free software trials. AI-driven insights also provide hardware recommendations and enable customers to renew subscriptions promptly. Nabil Bukhari, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Extreme Networks, said: "Extreme Platform ONE makes the impossible, possible. There is no other architecture and management combination in the industry that gives you that much information about your end-to-end enterprise in real time. And as the first in our industry to fully unify conversational, multimodal, and agentic AI, we're delivering intelligence and automation at every layer of the network – reducing complexity at every turn and taking tasks from hours to minutes to an instant." Jim Frey, Principal Analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group, now part of Omdia, commented: "Extreme is driving innovation with Platform ONE by unifying its portfolio into a single, powerful platform—layered with AI and wrapped in a simple, intuitive UI. For enterprises, this means more visibility, automation, and control across the network, enabling faster decision-making, reduced complexity, and a foundation that scales with the demands of their business." Extreme Platform ONE is available in Limited Availability, with plans for wider release in the future. The company has noted that more than 130 customers have already implemented the platform and have begun to provide feedback on their experiences.

Guwahati Tea Auction centre sets new record, sells ₹3,850 crore tea in FY25
The Guwahati Tea Auction Centre (GTAC) has set a new record, selling tea worth Rs 3850 crore in the financial year 2024-25. Dinesh Bihani, Secretary of Guwahati Tea Auction Buyers Association, on Tuesday told ANI that, in the FY 2024-25, the Guwahati Tea Auction Centre sold 169.13 million kg of tea with an average price of Rs 227.70 and the total turnover is Rs 3850 crore which is Rs 800 crore more compared to the previous year. "In the financial year 2023-24, GTAC sold 166.34 kg of tea worth Rs 3048 crore, and the average price was Rs 183.21. But in FY 2024-25, GTAC sold tea worth Rs 3850 crore, which is Rs 800 crore more compared to the previous year. In the last 52 years, this year the GTAC sold the highest tea. Last year Assam tea crop was short by 60-70 million kg, and despite it, we sold 3 million more tea in FY 2024-25," Bihani said. He further stated that, following the increase in the average price of tea, small tea growers in Assam are also benefiting. "Tea price increase at GTAC means the green leaves price will also increase, and the small tea growers of the state are also getting benefits from it," he said. According to the reports of the Tea Board of India, there are over 1.22 lakh Small Tea Growers in 28 districts of Assam, and their tea area is 114847.89 hectares of land, contributing nearly 52 per cent of the total tea production in the state. Four years ago, a special tea named Golden Tips from the Manohari tea estate was sold at GTAC for Rs 1 lakh per kg. "We hope that the current financial year 2025-26 will be good for Assam tea. Our exports have also increased. Many large buyers are also coming to GTAC. Recently, a tea from Dhekiajuli tea garden was sold at a price of Rs 606 per kg. Following the initiatives of the government, quality tea production has also increased," Bihani said. On the other hand, the GTAC Tea Lounge has also recorded a turnover of over Rs 1 crore from its tea promotion and retail activities in the FY 2024-25. Assam is the largest tea-producing state in India, and it produces over 50 per cent of the country's total tea. Assam tea has completed 200 years of its glorious journey.
