I've always thought that classifying products into 
Enterprise, Service Provider, SOHO, e.t.c., is a waste of 
time - and that goes for all vendors.

If it feels right, and cuts it, I'll deploy it.

We use a bunch of "desktop" switches for real customer 
production traffic. The 6500 is what Cisco recommend for 
service providers, but it doesn't make sense for some areas 
of our network when compared to, say, the 3560.

We use 2800's where Cisco say we should use a 7200, e.t.c., 
you get the point.

I guess that kind of distinction is necessary from the 
point-of-view of a vendor, but in practice, that area is 
very, very grey.
