Rich Media
For rich media applications, the switch provides improved storage and file sharing from a single
storage pool for multiple workstations.
Figure 1-4 depicts a sample rich media configuration.
Server Clustering
In this configuration, the switch helps deliver improved application availability when combined
with a server clustering software solution, like Microsoft Cluster Server or Veritas Cluster Server.
This prevents system downtime in case of failure to one of the application servers.
Figure 1-5 depicts a sample server clustering configuration.
