[c-nsp] Core: 2x4948 or 1x4503

[Dan Letkeman]

Hello,

We are looking at replacing our core switches (2x3560G).  I'm looking
at a few options, but the ones that interest me the most is the
4948E-E, and the 4503-E w/two 48 Port line cards and a SUP 6L-E.  As
far as bandwidth required, we have three esx hosts and two san's.
About 40 vm's.  We do have some fiber trunks to various different
buildings so the 4948E's look like a better choice because they have
the sfp slots built in.

The main thing i'm looking at, is to setup redundancy to the esx hosts
& san's.  I've read alot about people using 3750G's in a stack, but I
really wanted to get away from the 3750's and 3560's because of the
output discards from micro bursts.

Any suggestions?

Dan.
