What are you trying to accomplish? Does the current systems get reports of being down or slowness. Are you running out of IP addresses due to the sub-netting. Which monitoring tools are you using to see where potential problem may lurk. I have seen some sites with the coolest gear, but improperly tuned and lack of monitoring can make any setup act poorly. "You can not manage what you can not measure." Old saying but so true when it comes to networks.
