Pros
"The solution has a very good web interface. It makes it easy to manage everything.""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.""It's easy to extend the stack, We don't use the smaller switches, but it's going well for the rest.""The new web graphical interface is much better than before. We now have easy access to the command lines. They're all functional.""OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches' best features are it's easy to deploy, manage, and maintain, with services coming through one vendor.""Enables direct access to clusters.""We are able to customize this solution based on the customer's requirements.""This is a dependable switch which will help you sleep at night."
