Looking to deploy a new LAN solution at my organization. I don't want us to be tied to the whims of Cisco. Are there actual, viable, healthy alternatives?

Where feasible, consider software-defined networking or software-defined data centre.

We are on our second generation of HP/Aruba wired and wireless networking for a mid-sized organization and are very happy with the reliability. HP has been very aggressive on pricing and the product has been solid. Given pricing, CISCO is not even at the table.

I've deployed Juniper at two separate orgs for Core, Aggregation & Access switching. Solid choice if you've got a bench or partner that knows Junos well.

I like Juniper products, too. The problem is, I don't know Junos well and I am struggling to find a partner.

Personally, I would stick to Cisco notwithstanding the other alternatives. Their solution is tried and proven.
