Did you change your build out plans? I thought you were only looking at using a few machines at first. Even full 1G ports are expensive in datacenters. Even at that volume it's a minimum of $400 just for bandwidth. 10G ports are often many thousands of dollars monthly.
Combining both router and switch in the 24-48 port range is going to cost a lot. A full 10G port and hw is going to cost big $$$$

I assume the router part is a must-have? Gigabit switches with 10Gbps can be had relatively reasonably (Woven/Fortinet LB4/TRX100, for example), but adding router functionality really ups the cost. How many gigabit ports do you need? Could you do an x86 router with 10Gbps as uplink and then a couple multiport gigabit cards on the LAN side?
You're going to be in the $1,000+ price range for that switch.
I have the 48-port version of this one: Cisco Small Business 500X Series SG500X-24P-K9-NA 10/100/1000Mbps + 10 Gigabit PoE Stackable Managed Gigabit Ethernet Switch - Newegg.com

Don't get it.Sorry i haven't attended this thread for a while
A great use scenario for this is a 42-47U rack with 10G uplink. So way to share that 10G with all servers on the rack in 1G input each.
Well to be sincere i am just gathering information and researching for a future project. At the moment i am only considering a few shared rackspace 5U with 1G uplink. The only reason i brought up the router part is to be able to create my own private network and not rely on what the provider gives me. I mean does this make sense? or can a switch create private network? I don't think so..but doesn't hurt to confirm.
