DrCheese Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 We're looking at the Dell N series, £450 for a 48 port 10Gb edge switch and around £2k for a 24 port 10Gbe stackable core. That's pretty good, I was looking at at least twice that for those models! I'd be looking at the Ubiquiti switches, but I need them to be stackable before we could consider them :/

Asgard Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) @Asgard - that seems more expensive than HPE! Not when you actually argue pricing and tell them that eduction isn't littered with pots of gold. I've seen the list price from some of the suppliers when you google it and we paid nothing near that especially when you get pricing support direct from Netgear. I get on pretty well with the product manager for the entire managed switched division, I've got a couple of fellow edugeek members some discount when buying kit there all for pricing support to help out. This was a great trip [emoji106] Edited March 9, 2017 by Asgard

markwilfan Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Gonna order me a 48 port poe+ ubi edgeswitch tomorrow I think. Been toying with the idea for a while now. Equivalent hp 2530 is 1300 quid now (grey import). Ubi one is 700
richbrowncardiff Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 If anyone wants to come and have a look then PM me and you can have a look at the kit and controller.
markwilfan Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 If anyone wants to come and have a look then PM me and you can have a look at the kit and controller. Are you ubi site wide then rich?
richbrowncardiff Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Yes fully ubi now as of 3 weeks ago. 38 installed switches 70 x 10gbps uplinks incl SFP's for just under 20k ! incl 7 spare switches best thing I have done. 3
Mr_Jiminy Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Yes fully ubi now as of 3 weeks ago. 38 installed switches 70 x 10gbps uplinks incl SFP's for just under 20k ! incl 7 spare switches best thing I have done. Out of interest which range?
localzuk Posted March 10, 2017 Author Posted March 10, 2017 Out of interest which range? Indeed, which range @richbrowncardiff?
Achandler Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 He is using the Unifi switches themselves I believe (as oppose to Edge), with the 10gig fibre at the core
richbrowncardiff Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Indeed, which range @richbrowncardiff? Hi Guys yes I'm using the Unifi range. The only Edge product I'm using is the Edge pro router (Yet to configure) but it should do all i need nicely according to the re-seller and the specs as it does full L3
PotNoodleTech Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Yes fully ubi now as of 3 weeks ago. 38 installed switches 70 x 10gbps uplinks incl SFP's for just under 20k ! incl 7 spare switches best thing I have done. Might have to pop in to Cardiff then sometime to see that Richy me boy!! Won't be upgrading the whole lot like you've been able to do as I am very happy with my HP 5412ZL and the HP 2530s but I've still got a few old 2650 dotted around that need replacing and the 2530 are looking a bit steep for those edge areas. We're using POE more than ever now and I have not got enough 2530POE+ for any future expansion.

Norphy Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I'm confused by the HPE/ Aruba pricing - what is the average cost for a 2530? It depends on the model you buy, who you buy it from and how many you buy. I should think it's hard to say for sure. You're probably best giving a gold HP partner like European Electronique a call and seeing what they can do for you.
PotNoodleTech Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I'm confused by the HPE/ Aruba pricing - what is the average cost for a 2530? So I'm running the J9772A which are 48 port, 1 gig uplinks. £849.98 + vat approx. https://www.comms-express.com/products/hp-2530-48g-poe-switch-j9772a/ I would be looking at the Ubiquiti 48 port 500w which comes in at £679.56+vat approx. https://www.comms-express.com/products/ubiquiti-unifiswitch-48-port-500w/ However that has 2 x 10GB uplinks wich is amazing for the money, the actual equivalent HP switch would be J9853A @ £1266+vat approx. https://www.comms-express.com/products/hp-2530-48g-poe-2sfp-switch-j9853a/ Now the top end HP switch is 25% faster, better switching capacity/throughput etc, but for HALF the price the Ubiquiti stuff looks really really strong.

richbrowncardiff Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Just for info i purchased the US-48-500W for £547 each! 1
Norphy Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I've been quoted £695 for a HP 2530-48G. Which looks like a fairly reasonable price to me: Aruba 2530-48G - switch - 48 ports - Ma... | J9775A | £768.99 | Insight UK 1
NB9457 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Just for info i purchased the US-48-500W for £547 each! That's good, where from?
Mr_Jiminy Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Just for info i purchased the US-48-500W for £547 each! Where from?
richbrowncardiff Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Where from? A UBNT Master Retailer in the UK i did buy all my kit from them tho. PM me if you want more info. 1
