Re: 24-port Gigabit + two 10Gb uplinks

Certainly we'll never see them at that level from "Company C".  I don't
think they have ever sold anything of substance for $1500.  Heck, they
still list the 2511 at around $3700 if you want 16/16 memory in it.




Never say "never"...



Here's a brand new WS-C2950 for $1108. Why would the new 24*Gb + 10Gb
uplink switches not be similarly priced in 3 or 4 years? It's possible the
manufacturing of XENPAK optics is an order of magnitude more
difficult... but I think there will be adequate competition in the
marketplace soon enough.
