Does it have to be Cisco? :)

3850-24-XS with either a 2x 40Gbps or 8x 10Gbps uplink module (it's 
modular/swappable).
Or a 3850-32-XS which is fixed 32x10Gbps from memory.

Alternative platforms are the Nexus 3Ks and Catalyst 4500X...but I'll 
leave it up to you to read the data sheets :).

Cheers,
Matt.
