<p class="MsoNormal">Within the last year we have learned & deployed Juniper & Extreme. They are easily as good or better than the rest of the crowd.

I've liked the price of the Ubiquiti switches I've seen, but haven't gotten<br>
to play with them, and based on their EdgeRouter line, am not sure about<br>
their maturity either.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:11.55pt">A switch's maturity is much more dependent on hardware while a router is much more dependent on software, so I suggest assessing a switch on their own merits, regardless of bad experiences with that vendor in
the router realm. <o:p></o:p></p>
