[cobalt-users] Switch or Hub w/ RaQ3 co-lo rack?

[David <david_dean@xxxxxxx>]

Greets everyone,

THANKS for all the great info regarding switches and hubs, it's a big help!
This is my first co-lo setup (going into Dialtone) and the info helps a lot!

Kris, this Samsung unit does look like a great deal, I'm leaning towards it
over the Cisco. The cheapest price I've found on the Cisco Catalyst is around
$1200-1300, so this Samsung looks real good at $400. What are the big
differences between the two (besides the name Cisco) and a few extra ports on
the Catalyst? I'm a little green regarding the specs with switches/hubs since
my boxes have always been dedicated prior to this venture.

Thanks Again for all the input!
-David
