3560 upgrades ?

[dclee]

We are looking to upgrade all of our distribution switches..40 of them in total...2 in each floor that

are linked via fiber back to our core 6513E.

These switches provide network connectivty for computers and phones (voip) for each of our users

in both buildings.

Current model is WS-C3560G-48PS

Looking for recommendations of what I should be purchasing to replace these switches.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Do you run wireless?

I would take a look at the 3850, it has better QoS than 3560/3750 and runs IOS XE instead of IOS.

The direct replacement of the 3560 WILL BE the 3650.

The direct replacement of the 3750 WILL BE the 3850.

Unlike the 3650, the newer 3650 CAN BE STACKED.  So this is a huge bonus.  The only difference between the 3850 and 3650 is the amount of backplane speed between the stack members.
