About John Morrison
In a September 2019 interview with InformatiqueNews, John Morrison, Senior Vice President of EMEA at Extreme Networks, discussed the company's strategy and the evolving role of networking. Morrison described Extreme Networks as a "customer network driven focused company" that delivers solutions from the application and data center through the campus to the network edge. He stated that the company views itself as "a hundred percent software company now" but packages its solutions with hardware to provide a complete solution for enterprises. Morrison emphasized that simplicity in IT management comes from "automation based on policy," not from containerization alone. He also discussed the competing forces of application value and data security, noting that companies will move toward multi-cloud environments while balancing efficiency with regulations like GDPR. In a separate appearance, Morrison was featured on a YouTube channel where he taught the host how to perform a springboard wrestling move. During the segment, Morrison expressed surprise that the host successfully executed the move, stating, "I was legitimately so surprised... I could have swore you going to eat it." He praised the host's technique, noting that he "had soft knees the whole" time and that the performance "exceeded expectations."
