No license fees (Lowers OpEx) lifetime free software upgrades and patching to enhance features and supports patching, which provides fixes for critical bugs and security vulnerabilities between regular maintenance upgrades.
• Dual input power Option: Dual input power AC as well as DC inbuilt So, unlike major mainstream brands have capability of dual power or RPS but originally it comes with single AC supply only. For DC power input you required to purchase very specific DC power modules and adapter as well as power cable. DC power supply with major mainstream brands cost extra money while in COMMANDO switches it is freely available and also this DC supply do not have specific requirement of cable and adapter for DC power input it comes with standard specification which is commonly used.
