Total network capacity and throughput increase dramatically. Switch of Workgroups Network managers can switch workgroups by using the 100Base-TX expansion modules. Switch of Floors and Buildings For network managers, multistory buildings and campuses can represent a unique networking challenge. Ethernet switching and the Catalyst product family can provide the best solution. The Catalyst 3000 and Catalyst Stack provide enhanced throughput to local wiring closets that can be connected to an Catalyst located in the data center.
Many networks consist of users located in different buildings of a campus environment.
The Catalyst 3000 or Catalyst Stack can be used as a collapsed backbone interconnecting multiple buildings of a campus. The Catalyst 3000 or Catalyst Stack can provide the connectivity solution and enhanced throughput that such campus environments require. Switch of Routers Router technology has had a significant impact on the design of today's internetworks. Routers have become the cornerstone of most production networks. Although well equipped to provide firewall, WAN connectivity, security, and connection between dissimilar LANs, routers are unable to provide high throughput between desktop devices and servers.
