Since it’s a greenfield- I’d pick one vendor for networking,.. UBNT has been solid for me personally and the times I have deployed as a replacement... one single configuration tool -

Wondering.
If you had a new customer with a greenfield and your doing the network and wifi.
Would it all be Ubiquiti stuff? Or a mix.Example 5 buildings/cabin,
80 PC/Laptops
4-5 Servers running 40-45 VM'sMulti core fibre to 2 buildings then only a single cat6 cable for the others.
I wouldn't have any issue doing all UBNT gear, that said, 4-5 VM hosts? 40-45 VMs? What kind of networking back end do they have there? 10 GB I assume? I know UBNT has stuff in that range, but is it good for this type of setup - yeah I have absolutely no clue!
Also - why so many hosts for what today seems like few VMs? What do the VMs do? -

I like Ubiquiti for APs and Edgerouters.
Their network gear is priced higher than equivalent gear from other vendors most times, but I only know that to be true for the lower end 8 and 16 port switches. So I'd go with a different vendor for those (HP/Aruba are what first comes to mind.)
What you need to answer for yourself is how much of a value add is it sticking to a single vendor? Even sticking to just Ubiquiti should have you managing things in two different places because the Edgerouters use a different management backend than the UniFi routers, and you probably shouldn't be using the UniFi routers as they're more limited in a number of ways.

@Dashrender @gjacobse
This is just for one site. They have several manufacturing sites around all linked via VPN/SDWAN stuff.Their HO is just old
and needs an update (if they get some money) Just wondering what people would do, if you could rip it out and start again.I have suggested they try and pull some fibre from the cabins to the main server room instead of daisy chaining switches.

I have a room here, but we are prepping a new office for me. AC was installed in it yesterday and some more construction today. Maybe painting. All the new networking gear is here now so we can start installing that today, too.
