KEY BENEFITS
INTELLIGENT ENTERPRISE INFRASTRUCTURE
Enterprise network infrastructure is evolving dramatically, from the
core to the edge of the network, and the 3Com Switch 7750 is designed
to meet the greater demands being placed on the entire network system
to deliver:
›
Highly intelligent, non-stop transport of data and access to information
resources
›
Guaranteed quality of service (QoS) for mission critical business
applications, including Voice over IP (VoIP), storage and video
›
Comprehensive security for network access control, encryption and
protection of corporate resources
›
Unprecedented levels of management visibility and granular control
›
An open, standards-based architecture to enable seamless growth and
future investment without proprietary lock-ins
RESILIENT ARCHITECTURE FOR BUSINESS CONTINUITY
Featuring a resilient and flexible modular architecture, the Switch 7750
Family enhances business continuity by ensuring availability of network
resources and critical business applications—including data, voice and
video. All critical system components including power supplies, cooling
fans and switch fabrics are redundant* and hot-swappable, minimizing
the business impact in the unlikely event a component should fail.
Changes in network topology due to device or link failures can lead to
disruption of service for critical business applications. Rapid recovery
from such topology changes is ensured with features such as Multiple
Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP),
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing and Virtual Router Redundancy
Protocol (VRRP).
APPLICATION CONVERGENCE: QOS AND POWER OVER ETHERNET
Real-time applications such as VoIP demand high QoS and differentiated
service levels to function properly. Based on the same proven operating
system as the flagship 3Com Switch 8800 Family, the 3Com Switch 7750
delivers robust QoS and advanced traffic management features to ensure
critical applications are prioritized and serviced as the needs of the
organization dictate.
Additionally, the Switch 7750 supports industry-standard IEEE 802.3af
Power over Ethernet (PoE) to provide both electrical power and network
connectivity to PoE-capable devices, such as IP telephones and wireless
access points, making the Switch 7750 ideal for large-scale enterprise
edge deployment.
PoE simplifies network deployment by eliminating the need for separate
data and power infrastructures, significantly reducing installation and
maintenance costs. PoE also provides greater flexibility for moves, adds
and changes on the network. Powered network devices can be
deployed or relocated anywhere an Ethernet connection is available
without requiring a dedicated power outlet.
* Redundant fabric available on Switch 7758 only.
