N/A
Juniper 7000 or the BTI Series, now from Juniper Networks since they acquired BTI Systems in late 2016, consists of a number of platforms that address the packet optical transport and Ethernet access requirements of metro and cloud-based networks. Many of the BTI series products are now end of life and end of support. However, products are still available through resellers. The BTI7000 series (e.g. BTI7020, BTI7200, etc) competed with Cisco NCS, notably the NCS 1000 series products.N/A

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 Huawei CloudEngine Data Center Switches solution, as the name implies, is aimed at Datacenters and ToR applications. The development of such equipment was all designed to meet high processing loads and connections of servers, storages and other high-performance assets. The other solutions evaluated (and some we even have in our park) are for other purposes, such as access and edge.
