You'll need a couple of switches which will do HSRP, so layer 3 - some second hand 3750's would do fine, depends how much you want to spend.

I am looking for latest model. IS 3650 recommended. I believe it is latest.

Agree with Andy, it depends on your budget. <br />
<br />
I would go with Cisco catalyst 3750 if the budget allows, you could also look at the HP Procurve 1910

Would like to design a network for a server farm where there will be 15 servers which will be deployed in a small DC.<br />
The switches needs to be in redundant mode &nbsp;&amp; the servers will be connected to both the switches.<br />
Further the switches will be connected to Firewall for external connectivity.<br />

Would like to know which model of switches is recommended for this setup.<br />
Any &nbsp;Cisco model recommended.

Network Design

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.

Network Architecture

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

Networking Hardware-Other

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
