Hello,

in the company I work for we think about implementing this new switches.
From all we know the RPs are running Linux on Xeon Processors.
And there are just two IO modules available, 48 port 1 GBit and 32 port
10 GBit. If you need storage or security, you still have to buy Catalyst
6500 or other switches.

It seems to be a very fast switch with virtualization.

Let's what a first detailed look reveales.

Greetings,

Wilhelm
