If you can get one cheap, go for it. My used gear supplier swears by them
and I just bought three to finally start the first rack with 10G as a backbone
interconnection and 1G to each server. Our current setup is 1G to the backbone
and 100M to each server. (backbone links redundant, of course)

One drawback - this thing is huge ;-) You will need 60cm or something deep
of rackspace. Not a problem in a commercial environment with racks but could
be a limiting factor in a private setup. More than twice as big as a 29xx or 37xx ...

Kind regards
Patrick
