Our business has expanded greatly this year, we considered extending and upgrading our network in a comprehensive way at the end of this year, so it can provide a better service next year. To upgrade our existing 10G network to a 40G one, we also hoped the original ubiquiti 10G switches, connected with dell servers, can be fully used. After all, replacing all the 10G devices would be too much costly for us. The problem was we had already had 40G nic cards. We wondered if it was possible that those 40G nics can be used together with these 10G switches.
After describing our confusion, my account manager told us there were three solutions to solve it. They also confirmed our network environment and the transmission distance about the devices needed to be connected. Based on that, he also pointed out the most economical solution for us was to use 40G dac cables. Since our transmission distances were no longer than 5 meters, using transceivers together with mtp break out cables or transceivers together with optical cables and qsa adapters would both be more expensive. This was the most considerate and professional service we had ever had. Because of that, we bought their product without any hesitation.
Now, we have used their products for a while. Everything goes well just as we had expected.
