[SOLVED] Cheap 48 Port 10 gb SPF switches

[Requian]

Hello all,
As tittle says does anyone have recommendations on brands that carry switches with the bare minimums mentioned above? Something a little comparable to this allied telesis. Price range around 1400 other than sonicwall and ubiquiti. Ubiquiti has little to no support and am now staying away from them. Need to be able to talk to someone and have a cheap price and be able to work effectively and last. These will be used in mid and small sized businesses. Any suggestions? Used to have switches shipped from china although again no support and their way of doing business is questionable.

That is the huge cost is the end user support. That is the reason cisco and HP cost so much...well they also want you to pay even more for premium support.

Not sure very inexpensive switches are sold by microtik that many people like. If you get a switch with few features...ie not fancy layer 3 switches...you would think they would be stable. Most simpler layer 2 switches run everything in asic so there is little that can go wrong and even if it does
it can't really be fixed with software patches.

Been working with layer 2s for sometime now so am also open to these options. You mention microtek I’ll have to take a look at them.
