Why Read This Report

In Forrester's 85-criteria evaluation of vendors that offered data networking solutions, Forrester identified eight significant solution providers in this category — Alcatel-Lucent, Arista Networks, Avaya, Brocade Communications Systems, Cisco Systems, Extreme Networks, HP, and Juniper Networks — and researched, analyzed, and scored them. This report details our findings about how each vendor measures up against our defined strategic criteria categories and plots where they stand in relation to each other to help infrastructure and operations (I&O) professionals select the right partner for their data center network.
