We have a school of about 500 students and 36 staff. Internet speed is 400/25. Over all about 40 staff PCs, 20 VoIP phones, 50 lab PCs, 200 wireless computing devices. We have a separate wireless controller with Aruba stuff already and a new WatchGaurd firewall (10Gbps module upgradable), the need to segment security camera devices. We have 1x 1Gbps main switch and 5x 24 port HP 10/100 switches. We'd like to replace those with cost effective, but functional models so that we may have the option to go 10Gbps in the future. Obviously, budget is of concern here.
Over all, network traffic at the school is not that intensive. No one really file shares across to other devices, email is in cloud and local server backups, school mgmt. system in cloud. Basically, the majority of traffic going to PCs and devices is Windows Infrastructure Services and internet activity.
Someone said the support is best on the HPs, medium on the NetGears and not that great on Ubiquiti.
