10GbE Ethernet Switch Config

[Beyondtech]

Good Afternoon,

 

I have come here with regards to constructing my new network. I am implementing a 10GbE network. I am currently defiantly getting the Netgear 12-port 10GbE Switch. I am currently querying my second "normal" switch. Will it be better to get one of these:

or two of these:

I would be able to link these to my main switch using the four 10GbE ports that are on both of these. 

 

Ultimately the two switches (or three) would have a 20gbit link between them... so which is better? The single 52 port on the 2 28 port. 

 

Thanks in advance!

your links are both the same . if the netgear has 4 10gb ports then it should be nearly equal the single 52 port switch or the dual 28 port ones

I am assuming your comparing 1x 52 port versus 2x 28 port non-poe versions of the linked switch?

Price: the 52 port version is better.

Volume/space: 52 port is better again.

bandwidth: 52 port version is better. (176v128gbps)

 

However, keep in mind that if you need it, the 2x 28 port switches could be better, giving 256gbps total bandwidth, and as they are stack-able, it wouldn't add too much to managing the switches. It'd cost more, but not much more.

Thanks Blake!

 

I will be going with the 2x28 ports because I can setup some redundancy and the imporved bandwidth will defiantly impact my teams workflow.
