Big fan of exchange here as well. We're looking to upgrade, so we might have a BlackDiamond 8810 for sale soon :)

We just showed at Interop and won a bunch of awards, and have also compared VERY favorably to many of the more well known vendors. http://www.extremenetworks.com/products/products-hub.aspx On Thu, May 17, 2012 at 11:53 AM, Chinnery, Paul <pa...@mmcwm.com<mailto:pa...@mmcwm.com>> wrote: I have a Cisco 4510 as core running 1 gig ports.

They've worked very well. I don't think the exact model is made anymore, so I cannot add to the current bank. Looking at my options, what speeds are you now using for your core switches: 1 GB, 10, 100? We don't do any audio or AutoCad type of things here, but I do have several SANS that are connected to the core. I haven't run any port stats yet but I will. What about port size? Each of these switches has 24 ports. I could continue with smaller switches or look for a few switches with many ports. I recall seeing a Foundry core switch a few years ago and I think it had a few hundred ports. Thoughts?
