When choosing Cisco, we didn't not consider other solutions, but the expertise that we had in-house was central to our decision. We're very much brought into the CCNA and CCMP learning path and therefore we have expertise in Cisco equipment. To buy into the ecosystem of a Cisco competitor like Juniper would be more trouble and costly for us in the long run. Plus, Cisco does a good job.

We chose Cisco Services versus competing services because we have a lot of Cisco devices and wanted a solution that will work with them.
