Watching from afar, the amount of huge holes in Cisco are staggering. I don't really understand IT's love of Cisco, other than that's all they've certed in/invested in/never get fired for IBM mentality. For people in the networking space, what makes you use cisco for firewalls/core routing at this point?
- laurentdc 7y ago* abundance of people with Cisco knowledge and certifications, everyone has fiddled with a Cisco CLI at some point in their career * devices on the gray market are very cheap, low barrier to entry for setting up a lab or a SMB infrastructure * the lower end stuff is pretty much set and forget (e.g. we still have 1700 series devices from year 2003 routing calls without a hiccup) * "nobody ever got fired for buying Cisco" company mentality
