UPDATED: July 2026
The ExtremeCloud™ IQ classic UI will be retired in Q2 calendar year 2027. The new UI has been available since July 2025 to ensure customers have ample time to become comfortable before the classic UI is retired.
We will be transitioning from the classic UI to our modernized new UI which will become the default interface for all ExtremeCloud IQ customers. The final operational date for the classic UI is yet to be confirmed and will be communicated closer to the transition period.
Currently administrators are presented with the classic UI when initially logging into ExtremeCloud IQ. Beginning in November 2026, by default customers will be presented with the new UI but will have the option to toggle via the 9-dot menu back to the classic UI.
Why is This Transition Needed?
The new UI is built on a next-generation architecture that delivers:
- Improved performance and stability
- Streamlined workflows with a modern, and easier to use UI design
- Enhanced monitoring, troubleshooting, and visibility
- A scalable foundation aligned with Extreme’s cloud-managed roadmap
