Brocade vs Juniper vs Cisco: 1U Core Switches For Small/Medium Business Sites

I like to compare other brands just to make sure I'm giving my customers the right solutions.  Performance is important to me (for my customers).  That means I have to be checking around.  I looked at Juniper's EX4300 compared to Brocade's ICX6610 and Cisco's 3750-X.  Check it out yourself on the spec sheets.  Below are a couple of comparison examples for the three:

Juniper's EX4300  backplane speed for 48 port: 496 Gbps
Brocade's ICX6610 backplane speed for 48 ports: 576 Gbps
Cisco's 3750-X backplane speed for 48 ports: 160 Gbps

Juniper's EX4300 forwarding rate for 48 ports: 369 Mpps
Brocade's ICX6610 forwarding rate for 48 ports: 432 Mbps
Cisco's 3750-X forwarding rate for 48 ports: 101.2 Mbps

Go over the rest of the specs and do the comparisons.
