Figure 5-1. Collapsed Backbone Application
Departmental Bridge For enterprise networks where large data broadcasts are constantly processed,
this switch is an ideal solution for department users to connect to the corporate
backbone. The MIL-S3580 used as a segment switch can alleviate user contention
for bandwidth and eliminate server and network bottlenecks. All ports can connect
to high-speed department servers that need high bandwidth. This switch provides
parallel communications within its Gigabit port, which can run up to 2000Mbps at
Full-duplex.
The switch makes key servers available to more users by allowing multiple
conversations to occur concurrently, thereby significantly expanding overall
network throughput. Moreover, this switch eases supervision and maintenance by
allowing network manager to centralize multiple servers in a single location.
