Re: OT: Cisco Status in ENterprise switching - Juniper

Well, market share is saying something else,

I tried EX series andB didn'tB like it, juniper has a lot to go on
switching, it's a new born lacking lots of feature...
Juniper Networks missed its quarter for the first time in a long time:

and Cisco is growing day by day

IMHO getting certificate from different vendors is fine...
