SAN Switch

HMidkiff · ‎04-19-2010

Hello:

I am getting ready to deploy an HP Blade. As part of it I want to deploy a 10gig network to connect to a SAN. I am going to use the HP Flex-10 which is a 10 gig interconnect. I am not sure which Cisco switch to use. Can anyone make a suggestion?

I really like the 4948. It has been rock solid for us.

You could also take a look at the 3560-E, 3750-E or the new 3750-X.

3750-X

The X series won't be out for a few more months, but it has the 10 year limitied lifetime, so it may be worth the wait.

Hope it helps.
