Force10's S4810 isnt bad, we use these for a 10G 48 port box that doesnt
require Ultra Low latency.

Supports TRILL in some way too, Ive not had any major issues with this box,
1 or 2 bugs, but force10 (now dell)
seem quick to fix these.
They also have the Z9000 series, Ive not looked at this, but it might be
worth having a quick look and see if it
fits.
on the rest, what nick said..... :)
