Hello.
At the moment we are running our Network with two C4506 Core Switches and
we are considering to re-orangnise our Network . For round about 1500 Users.
We also are doing some research how we could have a suitable upgrade to our momentarily reliable Network components.
Personally I am convinced about Cisco Technology assets and would like to upgrade our Network by replacing
them again through Cisco.
Further more we need to plan some security and VOIP features for future use. Cisco would be the right choice for
investment protection at this point.
On the other hand , our Department was approached from an Enterasys Account Manager and he has introduced us the "S-Series Switches".
The product datasheets fulfill all the Technology features which fit our future needs.
The Account Manager has also demonstarted us an Application from which my Head of Department was very
enthusiastic about. This Application is the Netsight -NMS-5

This feature is very apropriate for simply implementing some sort of User Access Control and relatively inexpensive one . Below USD 3500.
I have searched for such an equivalent Cisco Product, so that I could compare it to the above mentioned third party application.
There are a wide broadband of Cisco products, from Small Business to Enterprise Products which have made it difficult for me to
locate a suitable Product for my needs.
Could somebody give me a hint whether Cisco has such an equivalent product or a composite of products which could also reach the NMS-5 functionality.
Thanks
Ray
