In my case, we're moving in the opposite direction...performance. Our older
distribution layers were all 4000/4500 and while providing adequate port
density, don't provide adequate performance.
Here's an example of one I was looking at today: One of our campuses has
4500s in the datacenter distribution layer and we're consolidating and
moving a large number of servers in from other campuses. While there was
enough horsepower to handle the few hosts originally there, adding another
96Gb ports to each 4500 wouldn't be good if they were fully populated and
running at max speed. In this case, there are no real "serverfarm" class
10/100/1000 48-port blades for a 4500, only for access density more or less.
They claim to have a 24-port version (4 ports per 1Gbps rather than 8) but
then I can't afford to lose the port density. Besides, I can still get a
13-blade chassis in the 6500 series.
Picking this stuff isn't always easy but I've found it's always better to go
high then low. Most lkely nobody ever lost their job because the equipment
they bought ran too fast. ;-)

Subject: why use 6500 switch?
Hi group,
I have question that fills my mind for a while.
when should I offer to buy 6500 for a project?
according to cisco Core,distributed and access layer model ,we have not a
place for extra high density port switch like 6500,
according to that thus we should use 6500 for other purposes? like its
specific cards?
thanks
Sirus MGH
