• Proactive remote network monitoring — Continuous health checks, performance analytics, and automated anomaly detection continually watch your network for signs of trouble before they affect users. This proactive approach helps identify bottlenecks, misconfigurations, and potential hardware issues early, allowing responders to remediate before end-users notice disruption. The monitoring spans critical devices, links, and configurations, enabling a holistic view of network health and reliability. Daily health summaries and executive dashboards translate complex telemetry into actionable insights for IT leadership.
• Incident and problem management — When issues arise, ResponsePLUS - AHR delivers rapid triage, escalation, and remediation planning. Incident management focuses on restoring service quickly while problem management traces the root cause to prevent recurrence. Through structured workflows, coordinated communication with stakeholders, and swift containment strategies, you benefit from reduced mean time to repair (MTTR) and fewer recurring incidents, improving user satisfaction and operational stability.
• Proactive change and configuration management — Safe, controlled changes are essential in complex networks. This service offers proactive change planning, risk assessment, and validation before deployment, along with rigorous configuration management practices. You receive standardized change workflows, backups of device configurations, and rollback capabilities to minimize risk during updates or policy shifts. The result is improved policy adherence, reproducible configurations, and a more auditable change history.
• Operational software updates and upgrades — Keeping firmware, drivers, and software on supported versions is critical for security and performance. ResponsePLUS - AHR coordinates and executes OS and software updates, test plans, and staged deployments to minimize business impact. This includes compatibility verification, scheduling within maintenance windows, and post-deployment validation to confirm stability. Regular updates help close security gaps and ensure devices run with the latest features and improvements from Extreme Networks.
• Advanced parts replacement for covered hardware — When hardware faults occur, the service includes expedited parts replacement for covered devices and components. This minimizes spare-parts risk and reduces downtime during component failures. With clearly defined SLAs for parts delivery and on-site support options, critical hardware reliability is enhanced, enabling networks to recover quickly from failures and maintain service levels.

The typical onboarding process includes defining the coverage scope, identifying critical devices and missions, and configuring notification preferences. After onboarding, your ExtremeWorks team will begin continuous monitoring and implement the agreed-upon change and maintenance workflows.
• Step 1: Confirm service scope and coverage — Identify which sites, devices, and networks are in-scope, along with priority assets and critical business services. Step 2: Provide access details — Share necessary administrative access and secure channels to facilitate remote monitoring and management. Step 3: Establish notification and escalation paths — Define who gets alerted for incidents, the expected response times, and the escalation chain. Step 4: Review maintenance windows — Agree on maintenance windows for software updates and configuration changes to minimize business impact. Step 5: Validate success criteria — Confirm acceptable performance baselines and service-level expectations to guide ongoing operations.
• Step 6: Activate monitoring and governance — The ExtremeWorks team activates monitoring agents, configures dashboards, and aligns change management processes with your IT policies. Step 7: Ongoing optimization — After activation, expect continuous optimization based on observed traffic patterns, policy requirements, and device behavior, all while maintaining compliance with security standards and internal controls.
