Hi We are a small office (circa 35 users), MS SBS x XP OR W7. We have a 48 port gs748t, which has been very reliable, but bloody noisy (it is in an open office environment where the switch cab has no sides, door......).

We are maxed out on the ports and so am looking to either get another to lash together, or better, get a quieter one (well 2 actually) and use this in another room, e.g. my it office with a bunch of machines.
I am also looking for a couple of smaller units to be in other rooms, so would be goo if they all played nice.
Currently I do no Qos, but may need to do that or VLAN for a new VOIP phone system. For the phone system they have recommended keeping traffic completely physically separate as we already have the wall ports for our current phone system. The suggested ZyXEL ES-2024 Series for PoE.
Not really time or experience to configure, but may need to tweak if we have problems and of course, want it to be SW friendly.
Regards,
JAC
