I like IRF, a form of redundancy that allows many switches to share one control panel.
Valuable Features
What I like about HP switches is something called IRF, a form of redundancy that allows many switches to share one control panel.
Improvements to My Organization
Total cost of ownership and consolidation of the switches is very good.
Room for Improvement
I would like to see in future versions their management for IPv6 to be driven more heavily.
Stability Issues
We found some security holes in some of their switches, but overall it's fairly stable.
Scalability Issues
Scalability is related to the consolidation of many switches into one management plan, so we have to hire less administrators to manage it.
Customer Service and Technical Support
I don’t have a lot of direct experience, so I can’t comment.
Previous Solutions
Complicated politics with the government of China. Disney is mostly Cisco, and they wanted to investigate whether to bring in more HP stuff.
Initial Setup
It’s fairly straightforward.
Other Solutions Considered
Cisco and basically all others were on our list. They have a partnership with HP China, so we chose HP.
Other Advice
* We just needed an alternative vendor to Cisco.
* It fulfills our needs, but isn’t perfect.
* Support for open protocol standards, security, and are all important factors to consider.
* Cisco has huge tech support, and no one matches them right now for routing and switching.

Has a lot of features and is easy to configure
What is most valuable?
We use more VLANs for every location for big data. We service the VLAN to check if the connection is working or not.
The hardware side is a very big advantage. We use it 24/7 and we haven't had any problems so far with the switches.
What needs improvement?
When we try to do configuration changes sometimes it malfunctions.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using these switches for the last 10 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is easy to scale. We haven't had any issues so far.
How are customer service and technical support?
We haven't needed to contact support yet. We haven't had any issues that we needed support for.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We used Cisco but then we switched to HP. The main difference is the GUI. HP has a lot of features and is easy to configure.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is very easy. The features come with the GUI. It makes it easy for us to configure it. We deployed it by ourselves. We only needed two to four people for the configuration.
Once we have a plan we can configure it in one hour.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate it a ten out of ten. I would definitely recommend it. It has a lifetime warantee.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Reliable switches that don't require management
What is our primary use case?
These are Layer 2 switches. We have mostly Layer 2 and we have one Layer 4 switch.
We have a plan to move away from this product. If it works, they will be there just as a backup only. But for most of the equipment, we're moving towards newer products.
Within our company, we have around 200-plus terminals that are connected, meaning there are over 200 PCs connected.
What is most valuable?
They're straightforward and stable. They're built like a workhorse — you leave them alone and they do their thing.
Overall, they're a good product; they don't break down.
What needs improvement?
I think there's nothing that needs to be improved because the company is no longer in existence.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using 3Com H3C Switches since 2003.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I think it's quite stable.
How are customer service and technical support?
In terms of technical support, HP is better because HP gives us a lifetime warranty — 3Com has a limit. Only HP gives us this kind of warranty — nobody else does that.
How was the initial setup?
Everything is very straightforward. Whether it's 3Com or it's HP or Aruba — they're all straightforward.
Deployment is pretty much a no brainer when it comes to switches. They're straightforward. You can define the VLAN and the link aggregation. You can do it the moment you put an IP address on the switches.
Regardless of whether it's HP or 3Com or even Cisco — they're all very similar. It's all quite simple equipment so they're easy to manage.
What about the implementation team?
We installed everything ourselves. You don't need staff for deployment and maintenance. You just have to plug it in and it runs on its own.
It's practically the same for most switches. But I have to say that the high-end switches, for Layer 2, I think there are some Layer 2 switches that are breaking down, or they just started breaking down. It has to do with age and production design. It's different for the high-end switches compared to the entry-level switches.
What other advice do I have?
If I had to go back in time, I might go with HP. HP is a better investment down the road.
On a scale from one to ten, I would give 3Com H3C Switches a rating of eight.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

A durable and trusted solution that is scalable and has good technical support
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature of this solution is the durability. There a couple of other competing brands, but we trust the durability of the 3Com.
They are easy to use, they are cheaper, and it's a trusted brand.
What needs improvement?
The cost and the integration with other solutions could be better. Intel and compatibility with a couple of other brands would be an improvement.
Delivery has been a problem with a couple of brands. We would like to have them deliver it on time.
In the next release, I would like to see some more advanced features. I would like to have five or more users and the speed could be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this solution for a very long time, for about ten years or so.
We use all the H3C brands and models.
We are using the latest version.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
This solution is quite stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
This solution is very scalable.
Our clients are either small, medium, or even large corporate government as well. The number of users is dependent on the client. It varies from small to enterprise.
How are customer service and technical support?
I would rate the technical support a nine out of ten.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have worked with other products.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was easy to install and it was not complicated.
You don't need to necessarily have a lot of technical knowledge to install or to configure this solution. It's quite easy.
What about the implementation team?
I am a trained IT professional, so I did the setup and installation myself. I do have a team of people that I work with, but mostly, I do it myself.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The cost could be improved, but it is cheaper than the others.
What other advice do I have?
I have never had a problem working with an H3C product.
I would recommend this product line.
I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
