Curation Review
✔ Pros:Extreme 400G density (up to 64 ports in 2RU), AI/ML optimized with RoCEv2 support, backward compatible with 40/100G optics, high power efficiency per gigabit.
✘ Cons:Prohibitively high cost and licensing fees for smaller firms, steep learning curve for ACI management, high power/cooling requirements (~1300W+), standard buffer not suitable for extreme micro-bursts.

Curation Review
✔ Pros:High-speed 2.5G multi-gigabit ports ideal for Wi-Fi 6/7 access points; generous 6x 10G SFP+ uplinks for high backhaul capacity; fanless design ensures completely silent operation; seamless integration with FortiGate firewalls via FortiLink for centralized security management.
✘ Cons:Lacks Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, requiring injectors or a separate power source for connected devices; fanless design leads to high operating temperatures (often exceeding 50°C); limited Layer 3 features compared to enterprise core switches.
