Something from a vendor other than Cisco, quite frankly, especially
given your org size and financial requirements.

There are quite a few good non-Cisco switch vendors, so I'll leave it up
to the gentle readers here to pipe up with suggestions.

Foundry Super X -- quantity (ports-wise), managed, and at a price point
that doesn't break the bank, IMO.

Quality is great as long as you stick to layer 2 (L2) services. Their L3
code quality leaves quite a bit to be desired. :-)

(L2 switching is, however, solid.)

Alternatively, do you have a particular upper bound budget figure in
mind? Might help folks here make better-targeted suggestions.
