Find out in this report how the two LAN Switching solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's pretty easy to use and operates at high speed."
"It's easy to use, and the performance is great."
"The in-service software upgrade (ISSU) feature is quite valuable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its reliability."
"When it comes to data centers, Cisco Nexus is the best."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it scales well. It supports a lot of servers. We don't have to come up with different designs for anything. That's the best part about it."
"The most valuable feature is that it is high-density, ten-gig."
"The interface is as user-friendly as you can make it."
"For a customer, it is easy to configure and to add ports through the LAN the GUI."
"Port density and port speed performance are both suitable. It has some appealing intangibles."
"Nothing is perfect."
"The scalability can be improved."
"There are limitations on some of the lower level 9K solutions where you can't do the same things that you would normally be able to do, like for instance the number of static maps that you can configure on it."
"Ease-of-use and making things more human-readable is most important."
"The technical support for this solution needs to be improved."
"The only thing to improve is to continue to get better."
"With some of the products we had before, we had a little more downtime than we would like."
"Data center access is stable and high speed but it is not compatible with Cisco's server hardware devices. The solution can be technically improved and can have features like automation, better visibility, better functionality, and cheap pricing."
"Instead of competing at the enterprise level with that product, they should probably scale it. With all of the ports, they should develop a good mid-level business to truly scale it and gain adoption before attempting to go after the enterprise."
"Customers do not prefer this to connect to multiple cities."
