Top of Rack Switches
Last updated: June 25, 2009
Below are most of the low profile, top-of-rack, 10GbE switches that we are aware of on the market today. For switches that have two or four 10GbE ports typically intended for uplinking, those are NOT listed here, but rather on our Hybrid Stackables page. When available we show both the list price and the web price. The price/port is computed from the best price shown divided by the minimum number of 10GbE ports that the switch ships with by default.
Some of these switches are simple layer-2 while others offer more advanced layer-3 functionality. This is list is essentially the low profile switches with limited configuration capabilities. The price/port below is the lower of the list or web price shown divided by number of ports that ship with the base configuration.
If you work for one of the below companies and have published pricing or performance data for any of these products please send an email to admin@10gbe.net and we would be happy to update the tables below.
