Hi Folks,
I need a some new switches to support a wireless architecture. I have the HP

I'm looking at Dell as an alternative. Dell can give me excellent pricing.
HP's products are fine, but I have an issue with just
Don't know if it makes a difference, but Dell has recently acquired

I'd suggest your reseller needs to step up. Suggesting that this minor
fiasco is giving you pause to consider your relationship with them and you
are considering Dell might make them resolve the issue. Then again, it
might not, and then you know what kind of vendor relationship you're really
in.
I have lower-end Dell managed switches (PowerConnect 5224's and the like) at a
few clients of mine and they have been fine, but they have 5yr warranty max so
my latest switch purchases (replacing the last of ancient Linksys unmanaged
switches) have been HP's.

Rootkits are largely already invisible to the end user.
Of course, there is an element of risk to this, but doing nothing is not a
valid response to the existing threats, and you have yet to substantiate
any specific weakness that would allow malware writers to have a field

It was part my fault, part the resellers. The switch I ordered was from the
3COM line, and the reseller assumed (very wrongly) that the series in question
is being retired by HP. It is not. So the reseller ordered the wrong switch
and I caught it once I was about to sign the purchase order.
I don't know a thing about CWS and I know you mentioned Citrix but have you
looked at their VDI-in-a-Box solution?

I would try my best to somehow justify the price difference to get either

I have never used the Symantec solution, but XenDesktop and View are the most
popular. However for a small amount of users the complexity of XenDesktop is
quite high. VDI-in-a-box is the less complex Citrix solution, but as yet there
is no easy upgrade path from VIAB to Xen should you need it.
I'm on that version and having no problems whatsoever, including with
workstations getting updated to it.
Do you have a call in to GFI's support line?

A rootkit doesn't have to be deployed via user access only. A

What then? How does the OS protect you when the OS has been subverted?

There are a few answers to that, but people complain.
UEFI is designed to do just that. Cryptographic hashes on all boot components
