    Abdul Malik - PeerSpot reviewer
    Offers high port density, including 1/25G/40G/100G and 400 options upto 2 RU and lower power consumption and leverages Broadcom chipsets for enhanced performance
    In terms of performance, scalability, and other factors, I would rate them around eight out of ten. I've encountered a few issues during deployments based on customer experiences. My first deployment was with the QFX5100-48S for a data center customer. I implemented layer-2 connectivity on them. Overall, I would say they're good for small-scale and medium scale so it seems these problems can persist for some time. However, the QFX series is still generally considered a good product and offers more flexibility than other options. It's very scalable. I haven't heard any customer complaints about scalability. In my experience, even the QFX5110 series extends for many years without needing upgrades. This scalability solves the challenge of needing to upgrade due to unknown internal problems, even when the release is stable.

    Technology is good but the price is the only factor
    If you are considering TerraScale you should compare with the competition and determine which product will give them the best efficiency versus price. Efficiency in terms of capacity, or cost per terabyte. That is the only factor. I would rate this solution an 8 out of 10 because of the cost per terabyte.
