In my experience, the QFX Series excels in scalability. For instance, to utilize new features, additional licenses are required. If the initial device capability is denoted as 'X', for these new features, customers typically pay a cost of 'X plus 20%', approximately. This cost structure is similar across many enterprise-grade network platforms. However, for edge or top-of-rack switches, other models, like the EX4650, ACX7100. The challenges I've encountered include occasional difficulties with software upgrades.

The price is too high for Juniper's solution and too expensive. Comparing it with other solutions like Cisco and Fortinet, Fortinet normally provides the best price, especially for security solutions.

The price of Juniper QFX Series Switches is higher because we are running some large enterprise network with a wide range of functionalities. However, they are less expensive than comparable Cisco or HPE hardware.
What is an Ethernet switch? An Ethernet switch connects devices like computers, laptops, servers, and printers to a local area network (LAN) and to each other. The switch then functions as a central connecting station.
You can boost the Ethernet’s capacity by wiring switches to each other. Unlike routers, Ethernet switches use multiple ports to enable devices in the LAN. Unmanaged switches are a type of plug-in switch that will work when connected, without the need to configure them...
The solution is cheap, especially compared to competitors like Cisco.
