Bit of background : we’re a Cisco shop which does Procurve as secondary brand and then mostly as access switches.
A customer wants to renew their current network infrastructure and wants to standardize on HP. Their current core is a Cisco 3750 stack and the infra is not that special. The new infra will include a dual core and has to have 10G links and the option for 40G links. Is the Aruba 5400-series an option or do we need to look into the comware based switches ? Personally, the 5400-series feels dated but we do not have any comware experience in house. We have enough experience with Procurve but that’s mostly access related and I do not know if that’s enough. The design will be a collapsed core design with cores linking servers and being the distribution for the access layer. What to chose ?
