SuperStack® II Systems

The 3Com® SuperStack® II system gives you a flexible, cost-effective connectivity solution for local, wide area, and SNA networks. You can combine diverse technologies and network services in one stacked system, strengthen it with uninterruptible and redundant power systems, and manage it all with Transcend® network management and control solutions.

As an important part of the 3Com Transcend Networking framework, SuperStack II systems will meet your evolving network needs—future proofing your network investment.

A single SuperStack II system provides connections for a range of network environments and protocols: Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Layer 3 switching, Gigabit Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI, ISDN, X.25, Frame Relay, and ATM. Depending on your needs, you can build SuperStack II systems for virtually any network environment. Capabilities include:

■Hubs for flexible workgroup connectivity that feature SNMP, RMON, and Web-based management

■Industry-leading physical layer support for Token Ring networks, including Token Ring switching

■Full SNMP, RMON, and Web-based management for Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet switches, as well as a dedicated RMON-1/RMON-2 probe

■Full range of switches to increase performance in high-speed client/server LANs

■Full, multiprotocol network access for telecommuters or users at other off-site locations

■Routing between central site and branch offices using innovative Boundary Routing® architecture or conventional routing software for multiple WAN choices, including ISDN

■SNA-to-LAN conversion linking local and remote offices to an SNA host system

■Choice of power systems to ensure uninterrupted network operation

For smaller offices of fewer than 20 users, our OfficeConnect® products can be used to complement SuperStack II systems.

Switches specifications

3Com switches have long been a significant player in the networking landscape, known for their reliable performance and robust features tailored for both small and medium-sized businesses as well as enterprise environments. Over the years, 3Com has developed a range of switches that cater to various networking needs, supporting a diverse array of applications. As part of HP's networking product line since their acquisition, 3Com switches have integrated advanced technologies and offered a variety of characteristics that enhance network performance and collaboration.

One of the main features of 3Com switches is their high-performance switching capabilities. Many 3Com models provide Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, allowing for rapid data transfers and reducing latency in network communications. This is particularly beneficial for businesses that rely on real-time data processing and high-bandwidth applications, such as video conferencing and large file transfers.

Another noteworthy characteristic of 3Com switches is their intelligent management features. They often come equipped with a web-based interface that allows for streamlined configuration and monitoring of network traffic. This enables IT administrators to manage their networks efficiently, deploying updates and troubleshooting issues with ease. Further enhancing network manageability, many 3Com switches support SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), enabling centralized management of multiple devices across a network.

Furthermore, 3Com switches incorporate Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, allowing them to deliver power along with data through standard Ethernet cables. This is particularly advantageous for powering devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points without the need for additional power sources, simplifying deployment and reducing clutter.

Scalability is another defining feature of 3Com switches. Many models are designed to facilitate easy expansion, accommodating growing network demands. Organizations can start with a few switches and expand their network infrastructure as their requirements evolve, ensuring that their investment in networking equipment remains relevant over time.

In terms of security, 3Com switches provide robust features such as VLAN support, network access control, and port security, safeguarding sensitive data and reducing the risk of unauthorized access. These elements are critical for maintaining a secure and reliable network environment.

In summary, 3Com switches deliver a combination of high performance, intelligent management capabilities, PoE technology, scalability, and robust security features. These characteristics make them an ideal choice for businesses looking to enhance their networking infrastructure and support dynamic and growing operational needs.
