Hello !

I have a little question, I'm actually studing IT in France, and when looking on alternative on the very [...] very expensive Cisco equipments, I've found Juniper and DELL PowerConnect pretty attractive on features and price, but I rarely see something else than the classics Cisco/LinkSys, HP Procurve and Netgear..

Why it's so rare to find those switch ? They looks really great but... I've never seen any Juniper or Powerconnect...

Why do enterprises stick with the expensive Cisco ?

I've tried to find how to buy both, it's quite easy with PowerConnect, everything is on the DELL website, but it looks it's very hard to find Juniper equipments in France :(

Thank you !
