My company is currently looking at upgrading our network to remove all
of our single points of failure. Next on the docket is our switching
hardware, None of us have any experience with HA switching so i am just
poking around doing a bit of reasearch into it. So I would like to get
some of your opinions on what is the best route?

A chassis switch with multiple cpu cards? if so what brand?

Or multiple switches linked? also, what brand?

Also, what are your reasons for your recomendations? or any thing we
need to consider?

Thanks in advance guys.
