What are the other ToR switches were you quoted? I’m assuming S-Series? What model?
Honestly, I’d go with S4112 if it were my environment. They run OS10 and support VLT which will support in-service software upgrade (ISSU) for dual-homed servers. N3224PX will run OS6 by default which, IMO, is not as stable as OS10. They also will not support ISSU as they leverage standard stacking protocols
Will N32xx switches work? Most likely. But S-Series switches are built specifically for this use-case. I disagree with others who have said S-Series is overkill. I think they’re just right.
EDIT - have you actually received a quote for the N3224PX switches? I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re similarly priced to S4112.
