This HPE switch is a beast! With 24 Gigabit ports and 10G uplinks, it fit perfectly into our SMB backbone upgrade. I really appreciate how clean the Instant On dashboard is—super intuitive. Bought it from Jazz Cyber Shield and the process was flawless. Fast shipping, and they answered pre-sales questions quickly. Would buy again.

We already had Aruba APs, and this switch integrated smoothly. The Instant On app brought everything together without needing a controller. Jazz Cyber Shield helped ensure we got the right model for PoE requirements.

We were debating between a few smart switches, but this one stood out with its 2x10GBase-T and 2x SFP+ ports. Super easy to stack and manage remotely. The Jazz Cyber Shield team gave us great advice on network design—kudos to their support.

Setup was quick—literally plug-and-play with the cloud dashboard. For small teams like ours, the GUI makes VLAN and traffic monitoring a breeze. Big thanks to Jazz Cyber Shield for including extra documentation to help us configure best practices.
