Cisco Ethernet Switches

We are using Cisco switches across our entire organization and i often use them in side jobs as well. They are very reliable and fairly easy to use, their is a lot of documentation out there on them as well which makes troubleshooting easier. They are expensive though, so we often will buy older model switches instead of brand new ones.

We currently utilize Cisco Ethernet Switches in all our wiring closets and in our datacenter. With our migration to Cisco VOIP we have begun utilizing them for our phone system as well with POE capability. We have 3 primary racks of Cisco switches in the datacenter that have patch panels above and below. We also use fiber SFP modules to connect the switches from floor to floor and for longer runs. We also connect our Cisco Wi-Fi points to these switches as well.

We use Cisco Ethernet Switches exclusively across the organization, we use it for our core switches, routers and all outlying switches. We have 1 GB, 10 GB and 40 GB network connections and they all interconnect very easily and the ease of management is superb.

We've been using Cisco switches on all connectivity levels in our organization for decades now. From manufacturing plants, remote offices, main offices, for engineering workloads, datacenters... Cisco is our standard for Networking equipment, for both Datacenter network and distribution layer network.

We use Cisco switches for all of our switching needs within our organization. From access switches to datacenter switches to even ruggedized switches, we use Cisco. They have been rock solid for us and we rarely have any issues with them.

We use Cisco Small Business (SG) switches at almost all of our client sites. They provide all of the features that we need at an attractive price point, plus have the advantage of Cisco's support, both in official and community-based forms. They provide basic network connectivity, the functionality to segregate networks for different tasks (VLANs), and power to IP phones and other network devices (Power over Ethernet).

Since Cisco entered the industrial ruggedized market for their switching products I have had used 1000s of the IE3000, 4000, 5000s and they are great products. They brought the Cisco IOS and those advanced features into a world where we see temperatures of up to 50 degrees Celsius (ambient).

Cisco ethernet switches are used in many environments in our data centre and also in our office networks. We have been using Cisco Catalyst and Nexus devices for many years and they are enablers for all data communication in our company and provide us the possibility to focus on our core business.

I use Cisco switches for every single port in my environment; they are powerful, stable, and always have predictable behaviour.

Cisco Ethernet Switches are the industry standard for enterprise level networks. I have installed and helped configure the 6500 series all the way through to the 3850's which seem to be the most widely used now. I was totally against changing from the "blade" type switches to the stackable switches like the 3750 and 3850, but now I wouldn't change back even if it were possible.

Cisco networking gear is the gold standard in the industry. We had a number of Cisco switches in production when I took over responsibility for managing them. They are by far the most reliable network hardware I’ve ever used. Coming from smaller shops where budgets don’t always optimize IT equipment, the cheaper hardware just doesn’t compare to Cisco switches.

We standardized on Cisco in order to achève the best available uptime and lost support overhead. Cost is high, and you need to ensure that you have sufficient technical knowledge within the team to support them, but their performance and reliability have been very good. We were lucky to have a very good Cisco account manager who supported us well with our existing equipment and future purchasing plans.
