I can 2nd the recommendation for the MX2820 series. 9 DS3 mux per 2U
chassis w/ redundancy. Very nice product if you're needing to save space in
a rack.

We use Adtran MX2820s which have been pretty reliable. They are designed
for medium density, so I am not sure if they'll be applicable to your
situation. We pull and trap a fair amount of snmp from them with no
problems.
