FortiSwitch vs Cisco at the Internet Edge

[BhmJeep]

We are moving our datacenter to a CoLo facility and we will have FG 600Es at the edge and management wants to make the switches (Just for the edge, not the core) Cisco and the security group wants FortiSwitches. Does anyone have a gool listing of reasons to choose FG over Cisco? Environment is 1Gb Internet connection and a 10Gb hand off to the DC core switches (Cisco 9ks).

I have come up with this so far but I need more!

[ul]

Security Centric Access Stack

Centralized management on the same platform

Centralized logging and extending security to the switch/port level

Single pane of glass for all security related information at the edge

Ease of automation at the edge with one vendor

Lower total cost of ownership[/ul]
