We are going to be upgrading our network and I'mm looking for feedback
on the Foundry and HP Procurve lines, specifically:
1) 5300XL Chassis Layer 3 Gbit NON-Blocking switch. (128 ports copper
gbit, and 16Ports Copper or Fiber Gbit)
2) 3400cl Stackable Layer 3 Gbit NON-Blocking copper (with fiber
uplinks if required). 48 ports Gbit Copper and 2 Fiber)
3) 2800 Stackable managed Layer 2 Gbit 48ports copper with fiber uplink
ports as well
4) Foundry FastIron SuperX
5) Foundry EdgeIron 48GS
I have some experience with Foundry but none with the HP gear. Please
let me know how good the Procurve Net manager software that comes with
the switches is, and if it's worth buying the Procurve Net manager Plus
software.
Personally, I'm leaning towards the Foundry gear right now. Price
might be a big factor though.
