Brocade offerings:

CER and MLXe platforms.  Not cheap, but you can get 4 linespeed 10G ports
and 4 1G copper/sfp plus 20 1Gsfp ports.

MLXe has many options, but everything in these two Brocade lines is
linespeed.

We are a Brocade dealer now, CER-2024F-4x-AC, with dual PSU, ADV-PREM
software, NBD replacement, you are looking at $12k.

If you look at used gear online, be careful, most of the cards available
refurbished online do not support IPv4 full routes.
