Looking for switch recommendations. Currently we use switches in the Nexus(Cisco) family.
Use case: We need to expand our infrastructure into a rack that is several rows away from our main racks in the datacenter. Hence this rack will have a limited amount of infrastructure (maybe a server or two and a legacy san) with a trunk that connects to the main infrastructure.
We will likely just need a L2 switch (although the possibility to add l3 capabilities with a card/license would be preferred).
I originally planned on staying within the nexus family but im not sure we need something with the "VPC" functionality, however we do need redundancy. What is everyone using these days as far as basic, not super critical(but redundant) switches?
I realize this is broad but my experience is limited... if any further info is needed feel free to ask.
needded specs are limited: 12 10g ports minimum, bonus for a switch that supports fibre channel
edit: Would i be better off just buying another nexus and adding this as a third switch in the VPC domain
