One other caveat is that StackPower supports up to four switches
only, whereas the StackWise technology supports up to nine devices
per stack. So, there could be scenarios where you could have two
StackPower stacks within the same StackWise group of switches,
assuming you have more than 4 in an IDF.
Luckily for me most of the IDF's have between 2 and 3 48 port
switches, but good info incase others are considering the x series

I agree with the 3750X as it appears "on paper".
As always with a v1.0 Caveat Emptor... Of course this wont matter
when in 3 months when the IOS gets its first .1 release :)
If it is power redundancy you are after then your 4500s
certainly give
you that. Then again you say you are using 3 x switches in each
stack. That means you would have a whole 4506 taking up all
those RU
(with two empty slots and no no failed supervisor redundancy) when
your 3x3750X will be taking up far less real estate! With
"supervisor" (stack master) redundancy too...
My cursory pros & cons list leans me towards 3750X.
Cheers,
Matt

From what I can tell it supports IEEE 802.3af PoE+. Depending
upon
the
wattage of the power supplies you buy you can actually do up to
30W
of power
per port!

Do the new 3750-X support Enhanced POE for the new devices? That
was a key
feature that the 4500's supported.

Hey everyone,
I was considering replacing some of our 3750 stacks with 4506-E's
but our
Cisco rep suggested we take a look at the *new* 3750-X series
instead. I'm
really interested in the new StackPower capabilities which gives
you power
redundancy within the stack. Also the power supplies are modular
with two
slots on each chassis. The uplink modules are also modular
allowing
for 2
10gbE or 4 10GbE uplink ports.
Has anyone seen these things in action yet? Any recommendations
as to
staying with the 3750-X series or moving to a single 4506 chassis
for IDF's
that have 3 or more switches in the stack? Thanks in advance!
Thank you,
Steve Di Bias
