[itdiscuss] iSCSI Switches

[Dan Barber]

Oddly, we are using Netgear Prosafe, primarily because of the true stacking (redundant 10G ring) capability. So far so good, since price was a big factor. I know for many you need both a high-speed stacking cable as well as flow control and jumbo frames.

Subject: [itdiscuss] iSCSI Switches

I  need to purchase a couple of switches for new office areas, but I am thinking that I have (2) HP 2810 switches in my iSCSI network, what if I took those 2 switches out and put them in the regular network.  Now I have to replace them for my iSCSI network, I have looked at both HP 3500yl and HP 2910 switches, both have great throughput and handle Flow-control and Jumbo Packets.  I have been reading everything I can find and looking all over the internet for options, now I am just looking for some feedback on what others are using and what has worked well for them.
