Those components were cited for their alignment with emerging enterprise needs, extensive performance capabilities, and a well-developed fabric management platform. - Cisco is big; Juniper’s future is uncertain Cisco’s ranking was based on its Nexus 9000-series switches, NX operating system, ACI-based fabrics, and its Nexus Dashboard. Gartner touted those components for their broad market support, its overall large customer and support base, and for Cisco’s roadmap to simplify an expanded service offering. - Juniper’s ranking is based on its deep product portfolio, which includes its QFX-, PTX-, and EX-series switches, Junos operating system, and Apstra management platform. Those products were cited for being “well aligned” with emerging enterprise needs, being backed by Juniper’s well-regarded support, and Apstra’s ability to support non-Juniper devices. - For now, Gartner has HPE as a “challenger” in the latest ranking alongside rival Nvidia. Dell Technologies and [Nokia](https://decisioninsights.ai/directory/nokia/) were placed in the “visionaries” box; while H3C, [Extreme Networks](https://decisioninsights.ai/directory/extreme-networks/), and Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise were labeled as “niche players.” <br> ## Words and Idioms <br> # References [Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Huawei top Gartner data center switch rank - SDx](https://www.sdxcentral.com/analysis/cisco-juniper-arista-huawei-top-gartner-data-center-switch-rank/) <br> # Links [[_MOC_2_English]] <br> # Tags #english #study #cisco #juniper #arista #huawei #datacenter #switch <br> # Aliases #영어 #공부 #시스코 #주니퍼 #아리스타 #화웨이 #데이터센터 #스위치 <br>
