If you go with Brocade, the MLXe is the lowest line that will give you full MPLS with the number of ports you are requiring 10 or 40 or 100. I talked to them yesterday about where their line is between CER and MLXe. I was told possibly early next year, but no specifics.
If you want me to price one or two for you, let me know. We just did a big order of CERs for Fusion, so we are on their radar :) Erich Kaiser North Central Tower [email protected] Office: 630-621-4804 Cell: 630-777-9291 On Sat, Feb 27, 2016 at 1:23 PM, Mike Hammett <[email protected]> wrote: > Windstream.
