[c-nsp] Cisco Switch Portfolio Miss

[Mark Mason]

I think the ticket is the N3K-C3064TQ-10GT [Nexus 3064-T, 48 10GBase-T and 4 QSFP+ ports]. Looks like it's still new and isn't quite available to be configured in the system and the price is pretty delicious.

Well, when I said I thought the switches were equal, I wasn't referring to the price!

Cisco, always "reassuringly expensive" :-)

Yea, the Nexus 6k lineup is quite a bit more expensive than the 3k lineup. The pricing and builds for the 3k's aren't too bad. Great input guys!

I don't have hands-on experience with them but I assumed that Cisco 6001T = Arista 7050T and Cisco 6001P = Arista 7050S

How is the Arista 7050 different than the Nexus 3064?  Cisco recently slashed the pricing on several of the 3064 models by quite a bit.  I'm not intimately familiar with Arista pricing, but the 3064's current list price isn't widely different than what I see for the Arista 7050 on a few sites.

If you are brand-loyal to Cisco you might want to look at the Nexus 3000 or
Nexus 6000 ranges.
