Remember - you may not be saving money by buying less expensive hardware
with the same functionality. You need to factor in the support available,
the reliability of the hardware, the uprgadeability, managability, etc.,
etc. You may save several hundred dollars on a switch but that does not add
up to much if your network is down for several hours because of reliability
issues.
I do not have firsthand experience with the HP line if switches so I am NOT
implying that their hardware is unreliable. All I am saying is that you
have to consider the big picture.
