Looking to purchase an AFF-C250 and a FAS2820, via 25GB. We need to use it as a backend storage switch, we don't need PoE, iSCSI, L3, VoIp, or any other type of application sensitive protocols, just using it for replication, NFS, mounting for VCenters. Currently we have a pair of Cisco 3550, and 5000 nexus switches, but they are 10GB. Switches need to be able to be clustered together, in an HA pair. Any suggestions on what kind of Cisco we can get? The current ones need to be uplinked to the new ones for data transfer as well so they need to be able to negotiate to 10gb from 25.
