I went to this Westcon Data Centre technology workshop thing this morning and listened to a few vendors give their data centre strategy presentations. The very short and sweet summary:
3com : Plumbing
Cisco : Arrogant
Juniper : Carrier Class
Huawei Symantec : WTF?
APC : Nobody showed up
“APC : Nobody showed up”
I like APC’s InfraStruxure racks and accessories. They’re really well-designed and it all clips together in seconds. The only problem is, just as you said, getting them to “show up”: my experience is that you have to order 3/4/5 months in advance of when you actually need the racks.
Oh, and it’s quite pricey. But it’s still nice….
Huawei Symantec : WTF?
It’s a new face, but enthusiatic for the future.
