Evaluating Switch Specification tips?
We are in the midst of spec'ing 2 to 4 CORE switches to be utilized within a virtualized environment. When reviewing switch specs...what are the most important aspects to look at when comparing? Is it Switch fabric, PPS or are there some hidden items people typically overlook when reviewing switches? We have a working set of Dell 6224's within our network but will be looking at the N4000 series switches for our Core. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

No bottleneck issues with the 6224's...they've worked quite well as our primary network switch to this date. We've employed LAG's between our 6224's at our primary data centers as well as utilized the stacking features via the back-plane module cards. The N4000 will only be utilized within the VM environment with a set of LAGged ports connecting to our LAN. Thank you for your input.
