I've never used their software in production, but I have been looking at it for some 100G ToR switches.. The featureset is awesome, but I can't really speak to how well the software works as I haven't received any demo gear actually running it yet..
I will say that a 32x100G Tomahawk + their SW is less (by a little) than I was paying for Trident II boxes (QFX5100/EX4600) from Juniper.. I don't know what ACX5k costs, though. -- Tim On Tue, May 10, 2016 at 12:16 PM, Colton Conor <[email protected]> wrote: > Tim, > > Do you use IP Infusion software today?
