    The focus of the solution is datacenter, so it is a waste of resources to use them as SOHO or as access switches. All your robustness needs to be used correctly, so that there is no wasted investment. I also note that, as good practices, it is necessary to ensure redundancy and availability of assets and connections, so the investment is high, even more so if you need to mix fiber and twisted pair solutions.

    Cons
    Huawei Technologies
    • Documentation, like every huawei product, needs improvement
    • The official training of this solution is extremely boring and theoretical. It is necessary to make something more practical and useful in everyday life.
    • As it is a line for datacenters, I believe that the product needs a better development in its chassis. It seems very fragile to me.

The other solutions evaluated (and some we even have in our park) are for other purposes, such as access and edge.
