We have virtualized most of our server, but still have about 7 physical standalone server. I'd like to consolidate them all to the same rack. I'm thinking of using a stack of 2 Cisco 9300 24 port switches with the 8 SFP+ module. 1 SFP+ port on each switch for the uplink and 1 for each of the other servers. The 24 gigabit ports would be used for iDrac and other management ports and redundant ports. Most of the time a server isn't putting out more than 1 gigabit unless it is during nightly backups.
VM rack uses a Nexus switch, but is a Catalyst fine for what I am describing?
