So I am looking at a few Cisco options here (for sake of debate, Cisco is the only option to go with right now). The only real requirements are redundant switches, 16-24 ports, line-rate/non-blocking, and 10Gb SFP+ for iSCSI traffic between the hosts and storage array. To my knowledge, at this time there will be no converged networking requirements.
I've done some research and landed on 3850s, 4500-Xs, or Nexus 3000s.. but I realize there may be other well-suited options out there. Does anyone have good or bad experiences with those models I listed? Or other recommendations I might not be thinking of?
