Support for the 10gbs M4300 Switches is Impressive! - Cable Amos - Case Study

If the 8X8F could support iSER in some fashion then you guys did create a solid product. We love the 8X and 12X switches for our small SMB customers that only have 2 to 3 VMware hosts and we need a small density switch that can be multi-roled either as a dedicated collpased core switch (for Edge and 10G LACP uplinks from VMware hosts) mated with the larger M4300-52G's that are setup in a L2 stack for the normal LAN traffic and then a switch that can do iSCSI loads on a OOB setup for purely iSCSI and vMotion traffic. We are using the 8X and 12X throughout many of our customers and they work great!

Used to be a Cisco guy for a while and these new switches are making me see Netgear in a new light.

I only wish the 8X would support iSER like the 12X does so that our customer can take advantage of QNAP NAS arrays that now employ iSER that use PFC as one of the key requirements of switches. If this could be made available we could see alot of traction with these switches. It's nice to see Netgear is the 1st yet again with enterprise-grade small density switches that aren't lacking in features. :-D
