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.
