We tested the HP wireless  and the Sonicwall, we opted for the Sonicwall
due in part because of price, but they also have better coverage area.
We use only HP switches. HP provides design and support. Not sure about
training, but I am pretty sure they do.

Subject: HP Layer 3 switch advice

 

Dear Colleagues,

Have any of you purchased HP Layer 3 switches?  I am working on a major
network upgrade and have priced two vendors.  Cisco is significantly
more expensive and has ongoing SMARTnet costs.  HP has great pricing and
the modules I am looking for but not the professional development and
training as far as I can see.

 

I have 1 GB internet with capacity to turn up to 10 GB.

 

I am looking at:

*         Procurve 530 Access points

*         Procurve Wireless Edge Module

*         HP Procurve 5412zl-96G Intelligent Edge Switch

(includes 4 24 Port 10/100/100 PoE J8702A modules and 2 875W J8717A
power supplies)

 

Or

 

*         Catalyst 6500/Cisco 7600 Supervisor 720 Fabric 

*         Cisco Access points

 

 

Pros and cons....

Anyone using HP.....
