As I was researching switches capable of 100GbE, I came across the S5850-48S2Q4C and was impressed with its specs and capabilities. Some specific questions I had were answered quickly and thoroughly via a chat with FS tech/pre-sales support. I even got a follow up message from an account manager right before I decided to purchase. The switch arrived quicker than expected, and the double boxes ensured it arrived without any dings or scratches. Provisioning the switch correctly for our setup did take a phone call to FS support we had not used an FS product before, but they helped us out and we had our switch online and active in a fairly short amount of time. It has been in operation for around two months now with no downtime or issues.

One note about installing this switch. It comes with attachable front ears for rack mounting, which I did. However, the weight of the switch caused it to sag a bit in the rear -- too much for my comfort. I ended up buying a fixed shelf that mounts front and rear, installing the rubber feet on the switch, and placing the switch on the fixed shelf. I also used the rack ears to keep the switch from shifting. If you are planning on rack mounting this switch, I would recommend supporting it with a sturdy shelf. FS has a couple of available options.
