My company uses ExtremeRouting for a big LAN environment, where there is a need for ERS switches, including Extreme Networks Core Switches and chassis, so the product is like a big cabinet to reduce chassis redundancy. The product is useful for LAN networks, especially when there is traffic from supposedly 500 or 1,000 users, and you want to get the traffic from the access layer to Extreme Networks Core Switch. The product's physical architecture of the box, chipsets, and load capacity are extremely good. The product was one of the best in the market in the past, but because of the support it offers, it got out of the market. In general, the product's hardware part is very good.
I mainly use ExtremeRouting in office settings to improve office processes and manage networks. I have used it for educational demos in schools too, making it useful for education. It is a versatile networking solution that works well for both corporate and educational needs, and I find it very helpful.

Our primary use case is routing. We are currently in the process of implementing the FabricOS here pretty soon, which is their alternative to the standard, what's called XOS, ExtremeOS, which is a more traditional switching and routing model, very akin to Cisco with a similar command line structure. With the routing capabilities, you basically have a way to turn your entire infrastructure across multiple locations into what looks like essentially one large switch, so routing becomes efficient. You can let VLANs talk to each other and control anyway through access control list.
Our primary use case for this solution is extreme routing. We have about ten to 12 buildings, so this product provides internal and external routing through the ExtremeRouting mechanism. Additionally, we have routing protocols, like OSPF, and RIP.
What is a router? A router is a network device that communicates between the internet and the devices in your office or home which connect to the internet. A router controls all the information going to and from each device and the modem. The router also ensures that the information ends up in the right spot.
A router connects to the modem and then to a device (be it a laptop, printer, smartphone or smart TV) either through an ethernet cable or a wireless signal (Wi-Fi). A router creates...

We use this solution in the bank. We will migrate the solution that we currently have on-premises to a SaaS solution.
We use the solution primarily for routing purposes.
