With increased speed and more bandwidth, Gigabit Ethernet is a great solution for reducing network bottlenecks that frequently develop as computers and their buses get faster, and more users generate ever-greater traffic through the use of increasingly advanced applications. Upgrading key components, such as backbones and servers, to Gigabit Ethernet can greatly improve network response times and significantly increase the speed of traffic between your subnets.
Gigabit Ethernet supports video conferencing, complex imaging, and similar data-intensive applications. Likewise, since data transfers occur at speeds up to 10 times greater than Fast Ethernet, servers outfitted with Gigabit Ethernet NIC’s (Network Interface Cards) are able to perform 10 times the number of operations in the same amount of time.
