Quotes
“There were several considerations that led us to choose the Avaya ERS 3500 for our networking project. First, size is definitely an issue for us. The ERS 3500 is a small-size, big-power solution, and the form factor means that it fits in tight spaces—a major plus for us in our existing wiring closets. Arrive also uses a plethora of unmanaged 6-10 port desktop switches to extend the wiring closet, which can be problematic, but the ERS 3500 solves that issue neatly for us. With more than 500 switches around our business, many of which are in need of upgrade, we’ll be working with Avaya to add capabilities throughout our network using the ERS 3500 within the next five years. For us, it’s desirable to keep our networking with the same vendor—it ensures unified system management, and increases reliability across the system. We’re very pleased with our choice of Avaya!”
—Øyvind Nikolaisen, senior network engineer, Arrive (Norway)
“Small and midsize enterprises are increasingly interested in technology that supports external communications and enhances internal collaboration. Given that many of these firms lack the IT expertise, budget, and personnel to efficiently deploy and maintain advanced solutions, ease of use remains paramount. Plug and play solutions that feature hardware and software expressly designed to work together, like Avaya IP Office and the ERS 3500, will be particularly attractive to these customers.”
—Justin Jaffe, research manager, SMB and Home Office Markets, IDC
“The Avaya ERS 3500 series is the perfect family of switches for small locations—it provides the features and capabilities that enterprises expect at a price suited for the small and midsize market. We’ve designed the ERS 3500 to work seamlessly with Avaya IP Office, simplifying deploymentwith our flagship collaboration solution for SMEs so that businesses can be more productive, faster.”
—Marc Randall, senior vice president and general manager, Avaya Networking
