Good gigabit switch

[briansciarra]

Hello, recently at a large branch location a Cisco 2970 gigabit switch died.

It was being used as a core switch.

I threw in a spare 3560 I had in stock.  It is fast Ethernet, would like to replace with another gigabit switch.

2970 was EOL about 5 years ago. 

What is a good gigabit switch we can get.  Don't want to overbuy, it's a large branch but still just a branch with about 50 - 75 users.

it is the core that the access switches from the 3 floors all cross connect into.

Any thoughts?

3850 or 3650 are good gig switches
