it's cheap compared to the £3,000 one normally pays for datacenter switches.

£3k for just a managed access switch seems a bit high, you should be able to get a 48 port 1G juniper ex3400 with 4x10 uplinks for about £1500 (of course proper switch prices are always hidden in layers of mystery, which really pisses me off. Fortigate nearly lost a sale when they couldn't even give us a ballpark figure upfront)
