Anyone have a recommendation - manufacturer and class - for a small datacenter (couple dozen servers, 100Mb of internet traffic) switch infrastructure?
I'm biased for Cisco because of history, but I'm now looking at a startup's budget. We have a bsd firewall in front of everything, and the switch infrastructure is just doing layer 2. We currently have some Procurves in place, but they're showing drops (DiscardIn mostly - usually < 1% but spiked up to 10% at one point) even though they're not even coming close to the rated specs for traffic. And it's just drops - I got gooseeggs for other error counters. Am I naive to think that the they should be showing clean (systems are showing clean)? or am I just using the wrong tool for the job?
