Extreme is a large player in the service provider market. They also have a line of access switches. They are non blocking wire speed. Some of their low end line is L3 capable. One selling point is an "IOS like" CLI.
I've been to a couple of their SE training labs. The stuff seems pretty nice. I can't comment on pricing. I just don't have the information handy. On the high end, with their architecture being wire speed non blocking, you don't have to fool around with SFM's and fabric-enabled versus non-fabric-enabled cards, the way you have to with Cisco. Probably the best thing for you to do is hit the Extreme website, find out who your local sales team is, and contact them. Extreme is becoming very aggressive in the lower end markets, and heir teams will be happy to set you up with some training and some sales materials.
