Thanks Anders. I guess the basic question is whether it's any good? Our needs are reasonably simple on a technical level (I think!).
What we are keen on, if possible, is to try and get a vendor with one OS across their range. Right now we have an eclectic mix of vendors kit and frankly it's a nightmare. Moving to a single vendor won't happen quickly but it's what we're trying to aim for and it seems that if you take HP and Cisco as two examples, you can buy two different models and you're not necessarily running the same OS. I suspect we'll get a vendor in who can offer a solution with what currently looks like the phone platform we're going for - that's the other fun part, finding a one stop shop so the phone vendor doesn't point fingers at the switch vendor and vice versa.

We use EX switches in a stacked configuration. Juniper calls it a Virtual Chassis. Our VoIP network is totally separate as its a hosted solution and the vendor wouldn't commit to full responsibility if we put it on the same switches. That said, what do you want to know? -Anders Sent from my iPhone On 25 okt 2011, at 13:43, Paul Hutchings <paul.hutchi...@mira.co.uk<mailto:paul.hutchi...@mira.co.uk>> wrote: Is anyone here using Juniper’s EX range of switches? We’re looking at vendors for some core switch replacements which is also tied in with some phone system stuff and Juniper are a vendor who I think we should be taking a look at, but I don’t know enough about their switch range. Before I stick a pin in the reseller list, if anyone has any direct experience I’d like to hear from you (on-list is preferred but off is fine if it’s something you’d prefer not to be public).
