Just got of the horn with a Cisco SE and he related that this switch is basically a 3560E with toned down features introduced for the "competitive market." Is that 4MB shared per 16 ports for the buffers then?
The guy was pushing nexus 5k hard (and FCoE) but I think that's outside of the budget as is, unfortunately, the 49xx. I've been burning the brain on all the iSCSI vs. FC[oE] vs. NFS and have come to the conclusion that in a VMWare environment the only thing FC has over hardware accelerated iSCSI is lower latency. Since we're not a super or scientific computing facility I'm not sure that even that matters. Thanks for all the responses on the previous thread; I learned a lot. ~JasonG _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
