My crew and I were up late last night upgrading Stevens Pass core network. We replaced a Cisco 4510R (dual power supply, but single management) with a stack of Brocade FastIron FCX624S-F switches and moved edge ports previously consolidated in the core to a couple of FastIron Edge 4802 switches. The server and other core switches are dual homed and use LACP to aggregate the uplink ports for fault tolerance in the core.
The second switch in the stack is otherwise bare because capital funding is needed to build redundant paths to the other lodges.
On top of the mitigated risk, it really cleaned things up and conserved rack space.
