I'm saying both... from the small private equity firm that has a good
relationship with cisco and bought 6509-E / sup-720's to the fortune 100...
Its hard to stop people from plugging stuff into that big cool box with 100
spare ports... ;)
So why try...
Let them do it... just have 2 sup's so I never get called...
:p

Well, make up your mind, Joe! Are we talking about small/medium
company, or Fortune 500? :-). If we're talking about F500, then there
is a lot of reason to argument purchasing additional "datacenter
access" layer and things like that. No point in buying extra Sup's,
where they are not needed :-)
