Hi Everyone,
Have a small DC, with around 12 racks, each with a 4948 as
TOR(Customer firewalls and servers connecting to them), coming back
to another 4948 acting as an agg/core switch...suggestions on a
replacement would be highly appreciated(To give more
redundancy...currently, its just a cold 4948 spare)...one of my
colleagues "loves" stackable switches, and is wanting to go with a
pair of 3950's....myself, Im not a fan of stackables...so, smaller
chassis-base would be my preference....or open to any other
suggestions.
For a datacentre, I'd pay attention to buffering. Cisco stackables tend
to have tiny buffers (not sure about 3950), which may or may not be a
problem for an agg switch, depending on your traffic patterns and link
speeds, and whether the device does cut-through switching.
How many ports and of what media/speed do you want? Do you need any DCB
/ FCoE stuff? Layer 2 or layer 3?
