Case Study: Pet Supplies Plus achieves cloud-managed enterprise Wi‑Fi with 99% uptime and reduced operating costs with Extreme Networks

Retailer Pet Supplies Plus Chooses Extreme for Cloud-Enabled Enterprise Networking

Pet Supplies Plus, a retail chain with more than 300 locations, needed to upgrade from consumer-grade Wi‑Fi to an enterprise-class, controller-less wireless solution that could span stores, a 760,000 sq ft distribution center and remote hosting facilities while meeting PCI security requirements. The retailer chose Extreme Networks for its cloud-enabled platform, deploying ExtremeWireless access points (AP350, AP170, AP330) together with ExtremeSwitching and ExtremeCloud™ IQ Online for centralized, remote management.

Extreme Networks implemented a scalable, resilient wireless architecture with cloud-based management and zero-touch provisioning, enabling remote troubleshooting and faster rollouts. The deployment delivered a unified user experience, reduced IT staffing and operating expenses, and achieved measurable results including 99% connection uptime, support for ~150 concurrent mobile devices in the distribution center, and simplified upgrades/expansions.
