If you're looking at sub 50k, the Nexus 5k isn't a terrible option. It gives you 32 10Gig SFP slots for ~$25,000 or less if you don't mind used from ebay.

Preferably - 8-16 10G ports - several GigE ports for legacy GigE hosts or cross connect to a legacy GigE switch - preferably not a large chassis based solution with blades The hosts aren't going to be driving full line rate, nor the SAN boxes providing full line rate, but their offered loads will definitely exceed 1Gbps. Assessing whether it is better to go 10G now vs. multi-pathing with quad GigE cards. Trying to find the best solution for > 1G on a trunk and < $50K per box. Any recommendations appreciated.

Also note that new devices hit the market everyday. For example Supermicro has an offering at http://www.supermicro.com/products/accessories/Networking/SSE-X24S.cfm which at the very least will be supported forever. -- ~ Andrew "lathama" Latham lathama () gmail com http://lathama.net ~
