Please log in for more thread options I have to make a decision between Allied Telesyn AT-GS950/24, Cisco Catalyst Express 500-12TC and Netgear GS716TEU switches. It should be used as a gigabit backbone. Two of them should be connected with two optical fibre cables. Four servers and one 24-port 10/100 switch (workstation connections) would be connected to each of them. Features required are reliability, speed, STP. Web interface for management would be nice too. Nothing fancy. It's a small network, about 50 workstations and before mentioned servers total. Existing 10/100 switches are Cisco Catalysts 2900 series and I don't want any interconnection problems. Of course, Cisco would probably be the easiest choice but Allied Telesyn costs 1/3 of its price and Netgear costs 1/4. Therefore, I would like to read some experienced users opinions, and perhaps save some money. Thanks in advance. | |||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Your time is not for free, neither is your users time. Thus you cannot see the price of a network gear isolated from other costs, this independently if you look at installation cost or day-to-day management. I'd go for cisco if i had to pay for it. I'd also go with cisco if i hat to manage it. BUT i would use some competitors equpment somewheer for two reasons : Get experience from that vendor ; and make shure the cisco-distributor knows that you have at least one other brand to choose from. | |||||||||||||
