Network Switch Help

Asked by r270ba in Network Switches & Hubs, Network Routers, Miscellaneous Networking

Tags: , , ,

Ok I need some help choosing a new switch for our small network.  We have around 40 computers in Building 1 and 20 computers in Building 2 at our HQ.  The two buildings are connected via a fiber optic run and terminated with SC connections on both sides.  I would like to put both Building 1 and Building 2 on 10/100/1000 switches.  I am not up to speed on "Managed" networks and both of our switches in Building 1 and Building 2 are "dummy" switches.  In Building 2, we are getting ready to add Avaya IP phones so I have to change my switches to add some QoS.  I need some help with what switch to choose.  I do not want to pay for Cisco switches.  We will only have about 5-10 phones in Building 2.  I was looking at the Dell Web Managed switches and Linksys Web Managed switches.  I really like the looks of:

Could someone give me some advise?
