Hello guys,
Thanks for replies. To add some more info for the case.
We have DWDM network with star topology. Switches will be connected to
center point with 100G uplink (currently 10G or 2x10G) via DWDM lambda.
Customers are connected to 10G ports.
We carry Internet traffic and IPTV multicast to regional ISPs over VLANs.
What is important for me is switch to be capable to carry traffic on
wire speed without packet loss. Latency is not big issue here.
I will also have a look at Arista switches.
Thanks a lot for the help,
Ivo

I second Arista switches, in my day job we use a lot of Arista
switches. Though one of the "issues" we see is Arista
drops older tech regularly. I believe their last presentation to us
was 25G/100G/400G switches.

Hi Ivo,
I don’t have any experience with the Dell switches but what about the
Arista DCS-7050QX-32 or DCS-7050QX-32S?
32x40G QSFP+ for the 7050QX-32
32x40G QSFP+ of which one QSFP+ can act as a dual personality to 4xSFP+
for the 7050QX-32S. (mind the S)
There are converters for the QSFP+ to turn them into a SFP+ port if you
need more 10G but want to have a way to migrate to 40G.
You can do this with the Mellanox 655902-001 QSA adapter.
Which is pretty much what we have in production. :)
Are you planning to buy new or eBay? There are some pretty good deals on
eBay.
