Why Raptor Network Technology is a Risk Worth Taking

Interesting perspective. To be clear - I have nothing against Raptor Networks. I actually was set-off by price comment. Actually the LAN space is around $13-14 Billion. In this space it is about credibility, completeness of portfolio (end-to-end), incremental capabilities, but most certainly it is not "PRICE". Price is not the ultimate differentiation point in the LAN market. Frankly, anytime you see a vendor that leverages a low-price (or cheaper than Cisco) strategy, history has shown that they will not be successful. And when you are looking at the 10 GbE market, you are talking about consumption being from mostly the top end user companies. Those companies are probably the "least likely to buy" from a unknown vendor such as Raptor.
