I highly recommend the EX4550.

Hey all,

 

Just looking at upgrading some A5820's with A5900's...

 

Anyone done this and know the differences between COMOS5 and COMOS7?  HP say its backwards compatible, but I am wondering if there are any stories - good or bad - out there about doing it.

 

Also - what do people think in the 10Gb switching space?

 

- HP A5900 (48 ports)

- Juniper EX4550 (32 ports)

- Cisco 4500-X (32 ports)

- Brocade equivalent?

- Others?

 

The HP A5800 has 2mb packet buffers, the A5900 is 9mb.. the Cisco 4900 might have around 17mb, but I can't figure out what the Juniper has... nothing is listed here: http://people.ucsc.edu/~warner/buffer.html to even guess with.
