"They are very high-performance switches and they are made for lossless data, so they're a good play in the customer environment."
"This solution has given us the ability to use Cisco ISE for security."
"Cisco Nexus is very safe and stable. I've been here 8 months. We have some devices that have been out for 11 years."
"For a customer, it is easy to configure and to add ports through the LAN the GUI."
"Port density and port speed performance are both suitable. It has some appealing intangibles."
"It would be ideal if there was better integration with various other platforms."
"In the next release of the solution, I would like to see varying integration between VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) instances so we can integrate BGB into different VRFs in a more organized way. We have some issues with tunnels and VRFs."
"If we could get some more automation integrated into it, it would make it easier."
