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.
