Hello,

Since our equipment (Jun MX80, couple juniper switches too) is getting old (EOL) and we are looking to expand our DC by adding 120 more racks. We contacted with Juniper and they gave us a quote. MX10004’s with 100G cards, couple QFX5120’s for spine and leaf architecture. But as everyone knows here their licensing and next Day support oversells are is Just a joke 😂😂. They quote too much for those and they are forcing you to buy. Since we are happy with our old MX’s, we are looking to buy 10004’s!

But for switch part, its completely missing. We contacted with Arista its more expensive. While searching around i saw a presentation about Ruijie’s DC things. They say they own the %39 percent about China DC sales. They say they work with China Telefon, Bytedance(tiktok), alibaba etc.

(im looking to contact with extreme networks too)

Do anyone have experiences with their hardware and software? Their quote is nearly half of the juniper and There is no licensing etc.

Also what will be your First thought when someone says they use Ruijie in their datacenter?

Thanks and appreciated.
