You can go with Cisco if you want to pay near double for it, but the HP
ProCurve line are still top end switches for much less cost. Most of the
Sun hardware comes with 4 GigE ports, so my Sun Ray server installs
usually trunk 2-4 GigE ports. (Why oh why do the 4200M2's come with 2
Intel and 2 Nvidia interfaces, and Nvidia not supported in Solaris LACP!?)
For the Sun Ray units themselves, obviously, you just need the 100Mbps
ProCurve switches with the 2 GigE interconnects. Then the Sun Ray
servers and switch interconnects are plugged into the across the board
GigE switch. Often in small to mid sized environments, the more
expensive GigE switches are used for many other purposes. Gotta love VLANs.
You have your Sun Ray server(s) going off 100Mbps? How many users? Just
to estimate roughly, I would say if under 100 users (or more than 500?)
I would probably go another route.

Hello,
What switches are known to work well in a Sun Ray environment? I ask
because we need to upgrade our interconnect switches and ideally would
like to run 1GB from the server (we do a lot of 3D development using the
Visualization System).
I've heard that certain Cisco models (3750) have some issues and a lot
of others require that the server run at 100MB rather than GB.
Thoughts?
