<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Guys,<u></u><u></u></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question, so apologies in advance - but since most people here run high speed storage networks it is probably relevant.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can I have some recommendations for low end, cost effective, 10Gbps switches (for iSCSI use)?<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Only need around 8-10 ports per switch, and all the switches I'm looking at from the likes of Cisco and Juniper are around $20k-$30k a switch - seems pretty extreme really. I'm looking at deploying 2 x 10Gbps iSCSI switches for a client
for a small VMware project, and am looking for suitable switches.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Looking for suggestions for a half decent switch to use here - doesn't have to be top of the line with heaps of features, just something very basic, as long as it's 10Gbps and has at least 8 ports.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Looking at the Netgear XS712T, these are around the $2k mark, which is in the ballpark of what I need. Looked at the Netgear XSM7224 and DELL N4032, but these are around the $5k mark per switch (but granted 24 ports with dual power supplies)<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Suggestions anyone?<u></u><u></u></p>
