Cool, but how does it stack up against Juniper, Arista, etc at that size? It looks cool, but for all I know all the big iron DC switches can do that, and this is just the only one they tested.

Wondering if I can upgrade our kit in its fifth year of age next year?..  Remembering when I was on a government site that was running kit that was so old I'd not even done CCNA work on something that old. Had to google how to configure VLANs  :XD:
I have nexus 3k and there's more fancy insides these days.

Stuff is five years old? Sounds like time for a hardware refresh..

It's four years old now. It means I have a year of sweet talk :)  :XD:
