    I love this switch for access and aggregate, especially due to the lack of needing reboots. [Other systems require this] reliable and stable platform.

    • Licensing for the 10GB ports is a bit pricey, but that was 5 years ago, so things may have changed
    • The CLI commands are slightly different than typical Cisco commands
    • Their rack mounting was not the prettiest in the world

    The switching holds up well against HP, Extreme, Juniper, et. al at the edge. Cost is also a huge factor, and played a part in the purchase. Not just for the switches themselves, but also optics can be purchased at a discount. Service delivery has been fantastic, and in 3 years I've not had to replace any of the brocade switches I've purchased.
