Port density and port speed performance are both suitable. It has some appealing intangibles.

We are not comparing it with Linksys, D-Link, or similar products. The engineering behind it isn't bad, it's just that you're limited. I'm not going to sell something to a customer where it's difficult for me to find staff who can program it or train on it. It's a bigger risk than it's worth.

Currently, I am using the Dell S4048. It's a nice switch and it gives you good results in terms of a broadcast station connection.

The HSRP (Hot Standby Router Protocol) and the bandwidth allocation are very nice.  

For a customer, it is easy to configure and to add ports through the LAN the GUI.
