many as 12 ATM25 desktops, and give them all 155 Mbps access to an ATM server. When used in conjunction with IBMs Turboways 100 Mbps ATM Adapters on the workstations, performance can meet or exceed some 155 Mbps adapter/switch combinations.

The second example, above, shows how you can connect the high-performance workgroup into the backbone network to access additional high-speed resources. By implementing a second backbone link connected to a different switch in the backbone, you can provide additional bandwidth for your users and enhance the networks availability to your workgroup even if one of the collapse-point switches fails.
