Interesting assessment and sorry to hear about the microsoftish
experience.  We're not intending to use blades (ESX Server 4 on a number
of HP DL380G6 is likely) and would like to do cross-box etherchannels for
redundancy.

Jeff mentioned the 4948 of which the 10G version looks great since we're
wanting to mirror the san off-site over fiber.

There's still a chance that fiber channel will happen though it looks like
that doesn't really make sense in this day and age.  Here, vendors are
pushing the MDS9124 box.

Thanks for the responses so far.
