Hey guys,
we're looking into upgrading our in-rack networking and I'm trying to figure out which switch brands and models fit best for these requirements of ours:
* the switch will be used for cca 20 web servers in a single rack
* at least 24x 1Gbit (Ethernet RJ45) ports, 10Gbit uplink (probably via SFP+)
* unmanaged, plug and play, high reliability, zero maintenance, zero bells and whistles
* untainted brand (no security issues in the past few years), so no Cisco products or other infamous brands (for the curious, 5 High Impact Flaws Affect Cisco Routers, Switches, IP Phones and Cameras )
* price up to $250
What do you think about these? Do you have a preferred brand / model that would fit?
We have had good experience with old 3COM switches so far, however 3COM got eaten by HP. The best model that I've seen so far is
HPE 1420 24G 2SFP+ Switch (JH018A)

Any thoughts/comments on this or other similar HP hardware?
