If you're going to order new platforms from Cisco for your event, you
should check out the new 6800 switches.

The Nexus should do the job as well.

The ASR9000 are more routers than switches, although they will do the
job also. If you have some routing requirements, they are not a bad choice.

For the access side, you certainly want to continue with the 3650/3850
switches
