About a year ago - maybe less - we replaced most of our existing LAN
infrastructure (3com) with Extreme gear. If you have specific concerns or
questions I might be able to help. E-mail me off line unless there is some
interest on this group for this kind of discussion, in which case I will be
happy to post "publicly" :)
Quick view is we're pretty happy with the equipment...

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.
