Network upgrade

[secure.boy]

I'm planing network upgrade,
the situation right now is terrible, so in the network are only L2 switches and cisco 2800 router, no vlan etc, no ACL etc ,,,

i'm planing to get hp procurve:
core:
2x HP 6600 J9263A or J9264A

distribution:
2x HP 2900 J9145A

for access:
HP 2500 / 2600

and Cisco 2950/2960 which are now in use

so the budget is like you see
2x 8000$
2x 3800$

do you have any idea ?

Ideas on what, like technologies that you should implement? What kind of environment is this? some things I generally like to see in L2/L3 switched networks is

k9 supported OS
a good STP model(IE. load balance your VLANs if you have a lot) using MST.
VACL's are key.
Sticky arp and DIA I like.
Storm control
802.1x is always fun
dhcp/igmp snooping is usually on my list
port-security depending on the situation
pvlans depending on the situation
span in certain cases

the list seriously goes on and one.. its different for every case.

More information on the business requirements would help...How many users? Applications? WAN Bandwidth (current and projected), etc...

There is no magic formula for building out networks, it all depends on your goals and how much you can afford

business requirements:
to work every thing
it is about a HQ ~ 200 pc, 40servers,
different departments should be isolated, we should have 802.1x before 01.06.2010,
vlans should be it, developers, finance, marketing, building, managers, management of equipment, building security ( camera, sensors,)
app: SAP, SharePortal, Oracle,
WAN: is not very mission critical, 10Mbps (planed ~40Mbps)
we are using proxy for each dept. configured in Group Policy

well i hope he has a good management suite to be able to manage all that crap

will you have any central management? or just logon to each device?
