Do you have a preferred vendor for your network gear?
I’ll go first:
- Firewalls: Fortinet, ASA, Palo Alto
- Route/Switch: Cisco, HPE/Aruba
- Wireless: Aruba, Cisco, Meraki
- Auth: NPS, ISE, ClearPass
- Monitoring: SolarWinds, Auvik, PRTG
- Automation: Ansible
- SDWAN: PA Prisma SDWAN, Fortinet, Velocloud
Juniper for R/S, Palo for firewalls. At home I use pfsense and UniFi APs and in that environment they’re great.
Ha! At home I run a Ubiquiti stack with my lab hung off it (switches, ASA, FortiGate).
Arista for DC switching and Juniper for everything else.
Tell me you’re a provider without telling me you’re a provider.
Hopefully at some point. Enterprise now and a couple of smaller cloud companies before this.
I got a lot of exposure to MikroTik’s route/switch devices when I worked at a WISP and really came to love them.
Wireless: Aruba, Cisco, Meraki
I know what you meant when you said “Wireless”, but I’m going to go with Siklu for their Kilo EtherHaul 70/80GHz radios that can no shit do 10Gbps links up to like 10 miles in ideal conditions.
Wait, Cisco == Meraki ;)
I work for Aruba (outing myself on my first post on Lemmy, smooth move dude) but I see Mist marketing themselves everywhere in the space, interested on people’s take on them.
