Hi CASPER folk, I'm in the midst of buying lots of 10/40GbE transceivers for HERA, and thought I'd throw out some names of suppliers who we use / made attractive quotes.
Fiberstore (fs.com) has been our go-to for a while for optics purchases, and we've had good luck (admittedly with some early teething problems*) getting transceivers spec'd to work with Arista / Mellanox hardware. Approved Optics (http://www.approvedoptics.com/) is a US-based transceiver supplier who (despite online pricing close to branded levels) came in pretty close to fiberstore levels in recent quotes. They may be worth looking into if you like the sound of US-based support / lifetime guarantees, etc. All of this is a segue to saying: If you have found vendors/models of switches / optics / other CASPER-relevant stuff that you thing might be of community interest, let me know. I'm going to try and resurrect the now long-defunct recommended hardware list. Cheers Jack * Nothing that couldn't be solved with a custom QSFP reprogramming station -- https://drive.google.com/open?id=1i5EBuY3VJsGKn7LLNpAoZi9NJ2iAMKPz -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "casper@lists.berkeley.edu" group.
