Using Cisco Catalyst Switches we get a homegenous network for easy central administration and integration with our tool set. We also know that replacing a product series with another from Cisco always provide roughly the same form factor and physical requirements so we don't need to redesign our wiring closets which. Staying with one vendor makes all our integrations work and provide future proof management.

Cisco Catalyst switches they are the bedrock of all Cisco switching equipment especially layer 2 or 3 campus switching. They are very interoperable with all other types of cisco switches. One example is the C9500-48Y4C they can be used for core switching or aggregation switching for a collapsed core design. This model also support IPSEC tunnels over microwave links depending on the firmware. They can also be monitored on the Meraki cloud based dashboard

They weren't the cheapest, but they had the greatest skills available in the market, they were reliable and they fitted well into our environment. The sales team were thorough and comprehensive, although not much spin needed - they are rock solid, everyone knows how to use them, our engineering team are well versed (and qualified) to operate and configure them.
