Avaya (Nortel) has some excellent offerings with 10Gb capabilities, at reasonable prices, with excellent support. All the FUD about Nortel's data stuff you might hear (or have heard) is just that, FUD, and un-founded at that.

We had two 10Gb switches(C5's) in the datacenter go south last night.... both locking up the port on the CORE switch(S4) they were connected to. These switches were just installed last Friday. Of course, the core switch shows an error condition on the front panel LED (solid orange), and activity on that port simply ceases, yet the CLI happily reports that port connection status is OK. This is the 4th C5 out of less than 10 that we've had issues with. Their other models and previous generation gear all seems to have similar issues. We have been stuck with it here for a while now, but this piece of straw may have broken the camel's back. -sc ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
