<div>As per the Cumulus Linux and The Register you'll note that all three switches share the Broadcom "Trident+" merchant silicon. The only difference is the Network OS. In the case of Cumulus Linux its been around quite a while now so should be mature.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Guys,</p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </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.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can I have some recommendations for low end, cost effective, 10Gbps switches (for iSCSI use)?</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </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.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </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.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </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)</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Suggestions anyone?</p>
