10GbE Switches

[oldBastard]

Hi all

Looking to possibly upgrade our core switch to a 10GbE switch. Mid range. Looking at the HPE FlexFabric 5820AF 24XG Switch

I have no idea if it's any good. What is there in the Cisco range?

Maybe start here: http://www.broadbandbuyer.com/store/10-gigabit-switches/24-port-10gbe-switches/
Don't have much experience with this though ...

This makes me moist.

I love that speed

I'd go with the HP ZL series for Core as its more redundant plus lifetime warranty and you can select whatever ZL modules - nice for expansion. You also get much more switching capacity @ 760Gbps up from 488Gbps on the above. They come in multiple sizes. As for HP - I'm super happy with them as the parts are easier to come by than Cisco in my experience plus Datacentrix are great with HP. Configuring them are also quite nice.
