Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The fibre ports that are 10 Gb capacity helped with the travel of a lot of regular as well as video data. Fibre can handle a lot more virtual data than copper twisted-pair, so we got a lot more data and a lot more traffic signals back through the fibre ports, faster, than with copper.""This is a dependable switch which will help you sleep at night.""It's easy to extend the stack, We don't use the smaller switches, but it's going well for the rest.""The solution has a very good web interface. It makes it easy to manage everything.""The product is stable. It does have only one power supply. They don't have a redundant power supply.""We are able to customize this solution based on the customer's requirements.""Enables direct access to clusters.""The new web graphical interface is much better than before. We now have easy access to the command lines. They're all functional."
