Just wondering who is going to trust the function of their systems with a new network product from you know who.

No.
This is where they really needed to find a partner to team up with instead of trying to reinvent the wheel

I think it's just Packedge rebadged. I currently use Aruba and Ubnt so I have no reason to switch.

Considering the fact that the network is pretty much the single most important part of an automation system.........Not a effin chance.

I plan on trying out the 8 port unmanaged network switch. Currently we use the netgear gs108 for this. The araknis is around the same price, but has all ports in the rear, is rack mountable, is one less wall wort to worry about, and has a two year warranty. Seems like its worth a try to me. Besides, if there ever is an issue, it will be a lot easier dealing with snap then trying to deal with netgear.

Sure. I ll try it. see no reason not to. Small switches are cheap and its not likely they started from scratch.

Based on the price point (both dealer and MSRP) of each and the fact that the Araknis unit compares itself to the Pakedge unit, I just don't see it. Looking at each of the new units, I would stand behind my guess on IP.

YEs, and all the small switches that die get thrown in the trash anyway. They are not worth the time to repackage and send back. NBD.

We don't really have any commitments regarding switching. I can't believe their switches will be any worse than the standard players out there. I've been looking at ordering Planet but the ease of the ordering might sway me towards Araknis. At this point, I wouldn't consider routing or wireless but I don't have a problem giving their switches a shot. Like others have said, I'm sure they are rebadged something or other so it should be stable.

What's the consensus on running this with let's say 10 - 15 zones of sonos......being an unmanaged switch. Multicasting, Spanning Tree Protocall.....
Time will tell?

Looking at details, it looks like the only one that's wall mountable is the baby, 5 port switch.
Too bad, because every small commercial job I've been to, has 24 to 48 port switch mounted on the wall, right below wall mounted patch panel.
How many of you actually bring networking to a rack?

We put 24 port switch in most of our racks. We almost need to step up to a 48. We normally put the modem, router, and a big switch in the rack. Another big switch in a panel, and a smaller switch in the theater and other secondary locations.
For those who centralize all network wiring in one location, how many extras do you run to the audio rack(s), video rack(s)? theater rack(s), etc? I would love to move to a single smaller rack, probably wall mount hinged, and get it all out of my way in the other racks.

Unless its not feasible I always use a wall mount swing out rack (middle Atlantic dwr or ewr). Usually wall mount the modem and put router and any poe injectors for wap's inside a structured wiring can...
