Hello, I am working on the first 10Gig deployment in a small data center. Main driver is a SQL database, so there will be a bunch of SQL servers virtualized using VMware, running against a SAN over iSCSI.
I've done some research and it looks like I can build the network using a Catalyst 4900M or a Nexus 5010, at about the same cost. I am familiar with the Catalyst family, but have no experience with the Nexus. At this point, the only major difference I see is that Nexus supports Fibre Channel (which I don't need). For being different product families, I am having a hard time understanding what the major differences are. Can anyone enlighten me? If anyone has hands-on experience with both and willing to share, that would be most appreciated. Thanks, Michael Malitsky _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
