We were not to thrilled with the 9640 when it came out but since the new
software release all the issues we had have been resolved. We have
several in production and are very happy.

Hi Robert,
I‘m not too much into the details of the test. While Arista was out
quite soon (lack of MPLS) we focused on Cisco NCS-55A2 which fulfilled
our needs.
However when it came to pricing the offer of Cisco was +1 on the
seventh digit compared to Extreme SLX-9640 (we need to buy ~80
devices) so we started to reconsider the SLX, despite the first tests
were not too promising. Maybe there is new software out which fixes
the most annoying issues.
The Ciscos simply exceed our budget, but I asked for a better deal
which is still pending.
We‘re probably go to buy two or three SLX and bring them into real
production and when they fail we sell them 2nd hand. At least we would
have a better feeling before spending the money.
Ask me again for an update in about 8 weeks.

Hi Fredy
Did you finished your testing of SLX 9640 ? Any feedback comparing to
tested Arista or NCS ?
Thank a lot
