Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 9000 Family
Alcatel-Lucent offers viable, but not market-leading, products with the OmniSwitch 9000 series of switches. Advanced management and security features, combined with aggressive pricing, keep this product in front of customers and competitive. (4/22/2009)
Cisco Catalyst 6500-E
The Catalyst 6500 still the leader in high capacity switches, offering investment protection, port diversity and service modules for all needs. It’s no longer the performance king, but remains the platform of choice for many. (7/20/2010)
Enterasys S-Series
The Enterasys S-Series is competitive in the data center market with good performance, density and policy features and an efficient design, but lacks oversubscribed 10GbE ports. (7/20/2010)
Extreme BlackDiamond 10808
The BlackDiamond 10808 is Extreme’s top-of-line, high capacity switch. With good security but only average performance and port densities, the product is not a leader in its class. Extreme needs to offer throughput to match its name. (4/14/2009)
Force10 Terascale E-Series 1200
Force10 remains a key competitor in high end data center switches with its TeraScale product. While this product is no longer a performance leader, it remains a strong competitor, especially when coupled with the new Force10 ExaScale offering. (4/9/2009)
Juniper Networks EX8200 line
The Juniper EX8200 line offers excellent port density and performance, as well as a carrier-grade operating system in Junos, but it has a limited line card selection with no oversubscribed 10GbE ports. (7/20/2010)
