    Who, besides Cisco, for enterprise access switches?

    Brocade (Foundry really) -- good big switches. I used them at my old job and never had any issues Nortel/Avaya - All the Avaya routers and switches are really just Nortels products.

    Good for branches and low traffic sites. Good little routers, but they are becoming "last generation" compared to everything else out there.
