      Cisco gear exists for companies with these issues: http://www.smbitjournal.com/2016/10/no-one-ever-got-fired-for-buying/

        Am I missing something here? I can get 3 of
        Ubiquiti Networks 48-Port UniFi Switch, Managed PoE+ Gigabit Switch with SFP, 500W (US-48-500W
        for the same price as one HP Dell or Cisco switch with similar features.

        Yes, definitely.

          Do i have to buy subscription service or install a vm to manage these?

          You'll need to install management software for Unifi (Unifi itself needs to be installed), but that doesn't need to be a VM, but should be. There is definitely no subscription here.

            Look at the non-Unifi switches, too. They are cheaper and more powerful.

              You mean the EdgeSwitches and EdgeMax, correct?

                    Don't purchase Unifi switches. Go with the EdgeSwitch.

                      What controller is used for the EdgeSwitch line? Obviously not the Unifi Controller as it's a different line of equipment.

                        Nothing yet. I believe that the UNMS will eventually (if it doesn't already) support the Edge line.

                          So how are people managing the Edge line of equipment currently?

                            Either by command line or via the built in web gui.

                              That is what I thought (web gui), but wanted to make sure. I didn't think of the CLI, but of course it's there.

                                And of course would probably be comparable to how they are currently managing their Cisco equipment.

                                  No controller needed, it's not a Unifi. The need for a controller is the Unifi / Meraki concept.

                                    They are standard managed switches. So SNMP as well.

                                      My friend uses the Unifi switches. He has them to power the Unifi APs and the Unifi Cameras.

                                        Generally the unifi switches are for tiny deployments. How is he liking them?

                                          So the
                                          ES-48-LITE
                                          would be great i think
                                          No need for PoE, though i might order one of them with it.
                                          Now if i could find someone with them in stock so i can get them here by Friday.

                                            Amazon usually has these.
