Jeef,
Does this help?
Quick comparison
3750 4948
Backplane 32Gbps 96Gpbs
SFPs varies 0-4 4
Interfaces 10/100 all gig ALL GigE
Price 48 port gige is cheaper than
equiv 3750
p/s nonredun builtin redundent
Fan tray na hot swapable
Stackable yes no
RU 1-1.5 1
POE option yes no
List std 48 port $14K $10.5K
List enh $22K $14.5K
As I see it the 3750 is edge / small core / small data center.
The 4948 is server aggregation, somewhat larger core thant 3750, and
data center.
And the 4948 may be a good choice for a high powered user group that
needs gige to all and no need to stack in that closet...
Except for stacking, I think the 4948 is a better switch.....
Later,
Jim

Why the 4948 over the 3750? Anyone done a quick comparison?
