      What stuff does the EdgeSwitch do that the Unifi Switch does not?

      Edit: I understand Unifi line has the controller.

      10GigE Fiber I believe.

        Yeah, we just got an EdgeMax because we needed 10gig SFP+.

          The unifi switch does as well... at least in the 48 port version.

              I actually really like the Zyxel GS1920 model for a managed switch. The 24 and 48-port switches are really more than that because they have extra dedicated fiber ports. All are 1 GB here, but they make 10 GB gear as well. I'm working on using them with LAGs across our backbone.

                Cisco Everywhere here. All 10Gig etherchannel over the single and multimode fiber up links. A lot of Cisco 4500 Series (Chasis and 4500x Fiber switches) And then some Cisco 2960-X switches for the lower end access switches.

                  I have been putting the Mellanox SX1012 through it's paces for the last couple of months and am impressed to say the least. 1U half width switch with 12 56GbE ports of QSFP+ that break out into 48 ports of 10Gig/1gig. Basically it is 1/10/40/56GbE for under 10 grand and has ZERO performance issues. http://www.mellanox.com/page/products_dyn?product_family=163 Iron Networks has it for ~5k - http://shop.ironnetworks.com/msx1012b-2brs?utm_source=google_shopping&gclid=Cj0KEQiA496zBRDoi5OY3p2xmaUBEiQArLNnK-nkxw0RsoMKFLQDuC3zgkhB0Fb0ZDrDLQ30Of5BHFgaAqON8P8HAQ

                      We use Juniper, Cisco, and Alcatel switches. I'm getting pretty decent and warming up to the Juniper switches. We are an ISP.

                          I am looking at upgrading my infrastructure soon. Has anyone had any experience with Extreme switches?

                            Not yet but they look like what we will move to when we upgrade... Eventually

                              I've heard good things about them but have not used them either.

                                We have a business unit that uses them They are always having issues with HMI/PLC logic stuff working over them. Normal data works fine but Extereme nor them have figured out what the deal is.
