The performance for the cost allows for a longer reliable use over other vendors evaluated. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose RUCKUS Ethernet Switches 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.

User Testimonials
	RUCKUS Ethernet Switches
Likelihood to Recommend	CommScope I love this switch for access and aggregate, especially due to the lack of needing reboots. [Other systems require this] reliable and stable platform. Verified User Read full review
Pros	CommScope They are relatively easy to configure and to maintain. They have all of the high-end configuration capabilities as Cisco switches. The switches have excellent performance and reliability. Incentivized Kenneth Hess Senior Systems Analyst Read full review
Cons	CommScope 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 Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Alternatives Considered	CommScope 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. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Return on Investment	CommScope Equipment just runs Sometimes past EOL/EOS Firmwares just work Verified User Read full review
