my switch over from a hub and spoke operation with dell 2724's to home runs to HP A5120's with 10gb backplane is complete
one of my backups went from 16 to 6 hours.
it had its last leg as fiber running at 100, after my radio guy got it up to 1 gig its down to 1 hour and 20 minutes.
I was running some backup, 24/7. now my backup window is a few hours.
worth every penny of 35g's between the switches, wiring, and the 2 new core routers(went from 7206 with a really old NPE to 2911's). all new patch stuff and 3 new racks in there too
