I am looking at replacing some unmanaged 16 port store bought GB switches and wanted to go with Cisco but it may be cost prohibitive.

Instead I am looking at ProCurve or Dell's PowerConnect line up.

I am looking for SNMP, Management, VLANs, and SFLOW would icing on the switch cupcake.

I would get the 6224 or the 6248 and then maybe add the RPS-600 to it for redundant power.

I think the RPS-600 supports multiple switches.

Rackspace is also a little challenge so I am trying to do it with as little Rack Units as possible.

Ideally I would go with two 6224's or a single 6248 and then do two VLANs.

Thanks for any feedback.
