Given that different networks have fairly specific requirements when it comes to kit, such needs are normally covered in greatest detail by "test driving the network before you buy" (to paraphrase a known vendor). You can always get additional information from peers on this list, blogs on the web, e.t.c., but for more specific requirements, suggest you talk to Cisco or whichever vendor you prefer to start testing what you need.
