Switch product line

SwOS

This is more a general vendor question than related to SwOS but think it would be great to ask this community for some input. I’m struggling to fing a good vendor switch solution that will offer a nice lineup of product but more competitive than Cisco such as Mikrotik does with their router.

I need edge, aggregation core, TOR, iSCSI switches . I have look at Arista Networks, Brocade (Foundry), edge-core, enterasys, Force10, avaya (nortel) and netgear and procurve.

HP procurve seems that best fit since they offer a wide range of solution, and would better work with a network only vendor.

So people, which network swith solution out there do you work with? I wish to give more business to Mikrotik, but before they come out with a 48 ports, non blocking, 512K buffer per port for iSCSI, stackable, LACP trunk over multiple stack switch and POE powered ports, I need to work with someone else .

Cisco to Brocade.

The current setup is almost pure fiber with Cisco. The new setup is going to be 10gb Brocade. We’re combining some of the traditional structure and going layer 3 down to the access switches.
