MikroTik CRS Series

We use MikroTik Cloud Router Switch as access switches and aggregation. We think that the throughput is enough for our operation as an ISP. Their features and flexibility allow us to deploy Edge and enterprise environments, especially where the cost-efficiency and feature density are very important. MikroTik Cloud Router Switch helps us to address several business problems: 
1 - Cost.Effective Layer 3 Hardware offloading allows us to upgrade the utilization of a switch as an L3 Switch to use routing in scenarios where RSTP or MSTP are not ideal. 
2 - Multibrand support, you could connect with other brand devices and keep standard protocols running perfectly. 
3 - Flexible port configuration and vlan management, in this section we can find some interesting features like vlan segmentation, port isolation, LACP, trunk, access and hybrid configuration are available. 
4 - Dual OS (Router OS and SwOS) Depending of the use case you can choose between this two operative systems. SwOS is very light with all features for a pure switching environment. RouterOS is a more complete system for special configurations like L3 HW.
