Re: fiber switch for gig

I have one of these. http://www.netgear.com/Products/Switches/Layer3ManagedSwitches/GSM7328FS.aspx Relatively inexpensive, and works happily with Cisco or OEM GBICs. I've always had good success working with their engineering folks for feature requests and troubleshooting. My main gripe is the

RE: cooling door

Alex's point is that 5x density does not mean that the infrastructure costs are less than 5x. At a certain point in time there is a rate of return lower than 1. We're so stuck thinking that costs are primarily related to square feet, but with powering and cooling costs being the primary factors,
