We are looking for new networking gear without expensive licenses and supportcontracts for firmware updates.
Specs:
SFP+ (with minimal 4xQSFP+) or only QSFP+ ports
VXLAN/BGP/VRRP
With Juniper and Cisco you need to buy a license for VXLAN, BGP like $ 6000,-
And also a valid support contract for downloading updates.
Arista - No licenses, Paid updates
Dell - No licenses, Free updates
Mikrotik - No licenses, Free updates
Juniper - Licenses and PAID updates
Cisco - Licenses and PAID updates
Brocade/ExtremeNetworks - - Licenses and PAID updates
Which switching brands let you not pay for updates and expensive licenses?
