I realize that asking for a reliable, 10gb budget switch is a contradiction in terms. But we all know nothing is ever easy. We're trying to start upgrading our network at a colo to 10gb, starting first with our NAS stuff and then outwards. Of course the boss doesn't want to pay for 10gb switches, but we're hoping a proof of concept will convince him.
What would be a good recommended, budget switch that has management (we'll need to be able to show graphs obviously and not fake ones). Right now everything is cat5e but we're assuming we can run cat6 and it should be ok. Fiber is out of the question except aggregating between cabinets (which we would prefer but not bound to it). Prefer to have at least 8 ports or above, but again I realize budget isn't going to be that most likely.
Thanks
