Help with Networking Part Numbers

I know you’re tired of trying to figure out the exact piece of networking equipment that you need for your network. Nothing is more frustrating than trying to digest the hundreds of thousands of part numbers to determine which part is what you are searching for and compatible. Network Liquidators has certified technicians to work with you in locating your required part. Then again, there are those select few that seem to have indexed every part number in their mind to know exactly what they need. You are defined as a walking, breathing networking part search engine, and I want to ensure my robot’s file is set to ALLOW when you visit me.

By letting our team assists you in your search for the correct part for Cisco, Nortel, Avaya, Juniper or any other brand we carry, you will save time. By you saving time you can aim your efforts in finally doing that last security modification of the day or break your high score on Minesweeper. Don’t be ashamed if you have uncertainty in locating your part. Think of the embarrassment you would endure if you spent $10,000+ on something only to determine the only way it will fit is by banging it in with a shake weight.

OK class, what did we learn today? I will not waste time searching for WS- whatever or SRX- blah blah blah. I will contact Network Liquidators and have their team give me a hand. I almost forgot to mention, you will be receiving a quote along with that support. Nothing super awesome in life is free. For example, if you want to raid in World of Warcraft and have a girlfriend, you better plan on giving her some cash so she can run to the mall and buy stuff she doesn’t need.

The Best Juniper Routers or the Best Network Routers Ever

The Best Routers Ever!  Go Juniper Networks!
Juniper Networks has a complete line of Juniper routers that meet the demands for any business network. To be specific, the Juniper SRX series routers are the best router Juniper offers having multiple features of a router, firewall and gateway as one. If your company or organization has multiple computers set up, chances are you are already using a network router or network switch. However, if you you optimal performance, you should definitely switch in using Juniper SRX routers.

For small businesses: I recommend the SRX100 or the SRX210.
For medium-sized businesses: I recommend the SRX210 or SRX240.
For large businesses: I recommend the SRX650.
For campuses and data centers, I recommend the SRX3400, SRX3600, SRX5600 or SRX5800.

Are there alternatives in using Juniper routers in my network?
Yes, Cisco Systems has been developing network routers for quite some time now and have the largest presence in the networking hardware world. Foundry Networks, now known as Brocade, also has a decent selection of network routers that run a bit less expensive than Cisco or Juniper. Nortel Networks also has network routers although I would honestly stick to a Cisco, Juniper or Brocade solution.

What if I want to use Juniper routers but I'm stuck with Cisco?
Most network equipment resellers offer a "Buy it Back" program that allows you to trade your old Cisco routers to apply as a discount off a purchase of brand new Juniper Networks routers.

Juniper SRX as a firewall, how does this compare to Cisco ASA firewalls?
With a Juniper solution, you are getting extremely better performance for the price. You simply can not go wrong in using Juniper vs. Cisco.

For reference in what a network router is
A router is an electronic device that interconnects two or more computer networks, and selectively interchanges packets of data between them. Each data packet contains address information that a router can use to determine if the source and destination are on the same network, or if the data packet must be transferred from one network to another. Where multiple routers are used in a large collection of interconnected networks, the routers exchange information about target system addresses, so that each router can build up a table showing the preferred paths between any two systems on the interconnected networks.

Understanding the Secondhand Cisco Hardware Market and Pricing

You may be wondering why Network Liquidators doesn't list prices on our website. Not only is this true for Cisco hardware, but we generally don't list prices due to changes in the market. Just like market-fresh fish in your area, the market changes for secondhand networking and telecom hardware. Would you really want to buy a product on a website knowing you could have waited a couple days only to have saved even more? Not to mention, competitors often scrap and steal pricing.

Our sales staff is in tune with pricing for used and refurbished Cisco and every other brand we resell. There is a reason why businesses around the world trust and use Network Liquidators. We take pride knowing our customers receive the best customer service at a more than reasonable price. From someone who needs Cisco routers for CCNA training to multi-million orders for data centers, Network Liquidators will always provide the best support.

We also know the exposure for the secondhand Cisco has received bad press. This is mainly from sellers on Ebay who are not a part of the UNEDA organization. UNEDA is a heavily monitored group that ensures all of its members are not selling knock-off equipment. Now, Network Liquidators does manufacturer its own GBICS and accessories, but we MAKE SURE WE TELL YOU. If you prefer original, we have no problems fulfilling your order as so. As example, there can be as much as a 50% cost saving difference buying Gencom GBICS new even when comparing to used Cisco GBICS. As the compatible GBICS provide no difference in operation.

I don't want this post to sound too promotional. I am only clarifying why pricing is not listed on our website. You would be surprised in how many competitors list pricing in shopping cards only to issue refunds because they don't have the product in stock or are able to source it. Take it from me, click the green request a quote button and save yourself the trouble.
