Do you have a preferred vendor for your network gear?
I’ll go first:
- Firewalls: Fortinet, ASA, Palo Alto
- Route/Switch: Cisco, HPE/Aruba
- Wireless: Aruba, Cisco, Meraki
- Auth: NPS, ISE, ClearPass
- Monitoring: SolarWinds, Auvik, PRTG
- Automation: Ansible
- SDWAN: PA Prisma SDWAN, Fortinet, Velocloud
Wait, HPE == Aruba?
Lol! I get hounded by Mist, but haven’t taken a real look at them. I’m breaking myself in at a Fortune company… about three months in. So I’m spending my time on getting up to speed. I’ll take a look at them though, and let you know what I think.
LOL more like Aruba == HPE, at least that’s what we tell ourselves.
The folder in my Vendors folder says ‘Aruba,’ don’t worry! After CommWare got sidelined for Aruba’s OS, I could tell.
