10G standalone switch to access in data center, cheap
Hello, I looking some 10G switches, 24-48 ports, it will be work in DC in access. Something cheaper ( for port) than extreme 670 ? Do You know something ? thanks greets, Peter
Juniper EX4500 or EX4550, they have fairly small send buffers though, so don't expect line-rate forwarding on all your ports. On 8/22/13 4:58 PM, Piotr wrote:

most of tor, 1u, standalone 10G, switches have only 8-9 MB shared buffers.. Peter W dniu 2013-08-22 17:39, Jeroen Wunnink | Atrato IP Networks pisze:

Well, "cheap" (and new), i.e. - take 1-2 Netgear XSM7224 with 24x 10GBaseT and 4x SFP+ (shared) each - take 1-2 Netgear XSM7224S with 24x SFP+ and 4x 10GBaseT (shared) each or - take 3-6 Netgear XS708E with 8x 10GBaseT and 1x SFP+ (shared) each - take 2-4 Netgear XS712T with 12x 10GBaseT and 2x SFP+ (shared) each I´m still looking myself for something cheaper, like switches directly bought/imported from original design manufacturers in low quantity.

Take a look at this list. These folks are putting a commodity Linux environment with binary drivers to merchant silicon switches. Right now they support Accton, Agema, Penguin Computing and Quanta. Arista without the price tag? :) http://cumulusnetworks.com/support/hcl/ Even without the linux distro these switches are probably cheap and usable with their default OS. Hey NANOG, it's good to be back and has been quite a while since I lurked on this list.
