      @scottalanmiller Interesting. I had not heard that before. Maybe I should give them a second look?

        Definitely worth considering. Extreme is great stuff too.

            Maybe this is a better question, Should @wrx7m be considering Extreme instead of someone like HP? Or maybe the price isn't that much if any less then Extreme with four SPF+ ports.

              HP is just fine too. Get prices, see what the difference is. And what you have experience with and a good VAR relationship for matters as well.

                So Adtran doesn't seem to have anything in the 10GE arena. I think that is another reason why I had eliminated them early on.

                  That would do it.

                    LOL. Yeah. Very strange that they have the edge/campus but without any 10GE and then they carrier class with ONT and others.

                      wow, $3800/ea for the TOR switches...

                      $4k is pennies in large switches. A lot of ours (not access they are around $4k-$6k for 48 port 800watt Poe) are $20k+

                        Not that it means anything - but I've never heard of Extreme Summit.

                          LOL I guess my needs just don't justify it.

                          Most of the stuff you're dealing with Jason are so far outside with 99% of the users here deal with.
