Extreme co-founder Herb Schneider, who is also senior vice president of R&D, is participating in the CSO Boot Camp. His presentation on Monday is "Service Oriented Networked Applications to Deliver a Secure Network." Meanwhile, Nick Suizo, director of software and network management, is participating in an SOA panel called "XML Gateways, Addressing the Security and Performance on the Network," which takes place on Tuesday.

Extreme engineers recently joined engineers from Cisco, Juniper, Microsoft, Enterasys, HP and others to prepare for the InteropLabs, or iLabs, which is the experimental portion of the show network. You can get an inside look at what happened here.

At its booth, Extreme will be demonstrating networking, security, convergence and wireless LAN technologies.
