Yes, you have extreme reliability that is comes from San-os, but even with the MDS you always go with an A and B fabric.
This chassis is basically a core replacement, and an answer to the 10Gig aggregation problems that are starting to pop up with blade centers and high end vmware installations. I do not think that the increased reliability will drive a general design change from dual to single core on a network of any decent size. -- Colin McNamara (858)208-8105 CCIE #18233,RHCE,GCIH http://www.colinmcnamara.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/colinmcnamara "The difficult we do immediately, the impossible just takes a little longer" On Thu, 2008-01-31 at 13:10 -0800, Andrew Gristina wrote: > Yes, if it is based on the MDS. > > On Jan 31, 2008 12:08 PM, Tom Sands <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Would you really trust dual sups in the Nexus any more than you can > > trust dual sups in a 6500?
