Brocade's got some as well.

Force10 (erm... I mean Dell) also makes some.

Another option is to roll your own if you have in-house staff with the
talent.  The Arista and Force10 switches mentioned above are likely
built upon the same hardware as the Pronto 3920.

These can also be found in the form of Quanta branded switch hardware.
Pick your favourite brand of available layer2 control plane software and
you can crank them out at a fraction of the cost.
