Hello, you can buy Arista 7050QX-32S are 40G Switches. They come for around 500-700€ each and can be stacked using MLAG. They work great. If you like to spend more money, 7060QX-32S are 100G Switches available for around 1500€. -- Martin Verges Managing director Mobile: +49 174 9335695 E-Mail: martin.verges@xxxxxxxx Chat: https://t.me/MartinVerges croit GmbH, Freseniusstr. 31h, 81247 Munich CEO: Martin Verges - VAT-ID: DE310638492 Com. register: Amtsgericht Munich HRB 231263 Web: https://croit.io YouTube: https://goo.gl/PGE1Bx Am Mo., 15.
