I have wondered what really makes a good datacenter switch for a while. Embaracingly, I don't understand why some switches are better than others in the datacenter.
I get the need for things like L3, port speed, and larger TCAM (MAC addresses/routes).
What about buffer size? Any other important factors I'm missing?
Also, why pick a nexus over catalyst? Why hpe comware over an aruba 3810? Incert other comparable brands here. (Sorry if I left out your favorite brand. Those were just the two examples I could think of off the top of my head)
What else have I totally missed?
(Sorry for spelling mistakes. I posted from mobile)
