Hello,
I'm looking for any recommendations on network switches to be used in a harsh environment. I'm talking warehouse/manufacturing.

What can a Cisco 2960-s do better than an HP V1910?

would there be any reason to go with a Cisco over an HP? Even with basic configurations on both (maybe VLAN's, but that's about it)

Thanks in advance for any info or suggestions.
 
Thanks for the suggestion. We have a closet that has like 8 24-port switches in it and I was actually looking for 48ports to replace them with. I guess HP used to make a 48 port that was fanless, but it is no longer produced.

I suppose we'll just continue using the cheaper HP/3com switches in these locations and maintain spares.

No reason to spend the extra $$$ for a Cisco that I can see.
