We scrapped a bunch of 3560X after they suffered packetdrops on interfaces.
Running 4948-E now and have been happy since. :)

Ärende: Re: [c-nsp] Choosing Switches to Support VM Clusters
We're about to deploy 3750X ... As per Dell, whose SANs we are
deploying, this switch has been tested and is considered up to snuff by
