Ruckus(brocade) vs Aruba switches

Hey there guys

Looking to any insight or something to push me over the edge for either switch purchase at moment.

Comparing Ruckus ICX 7650-48 and the Aruba 8320-581A switch.

Needs 10Gbe Base-T ports -- although will not need all 48 to be 10Gbe or POE. However, the ICX model in Base-T option comes with PoE Regardless.

Usages; ToR switches for racks and also for Storage iSCSI Traffic..

the Ruckus ICX switches are coming in quite cheaper than the Aruba - quieter, and few inches shorter in depth. Also appear to be more flexible due to the port density/options.

However, Uncertain of the Ruckus support/warranty as well as the IOS like syntax....

I've historically used Cisco, Extreme and HPE (3com and HP)
