[c-nsp] 3750 stack vs 4507R-E?

[Chris Gauthier]

I have 2 SAN boxes and several servers, in addition to the rest of the data center's servers to plan a network upgrade for. We are currently using a 4006 w/Sup II running CatOS 8.4(11)GLX and several older 2950/3500/3550 series switches. 

All of the equipment is getting older and we are trying to determine what would be better...another chassis switch or a 3750 stack? Why would you choose one over the other? 

Needs: 

True Gigabit connectivity for all servers (30-40 of them) and switch uplinks. Some switches are using a fiber backbone. 
Redundancy 
Least-cost, best benefit. 
POE on at least 18-24 ports. 


Thanks, 

Chris
