Example
In this example application the switch is the ideal solution for different company departments to connect to the
corporate backbone. It can alleviate bandwidth contention and eliminate server and network bottlenecks. All users
that need high bandwidth can connect to high-speed department servers via the switch. You can provide a super-
fast uplink connection by installing the transceiver(s) in the mini GBIC slots on the GS-3012F.
Moreover, the switch eases supervision and maintenance by allowing network managers to centralize multiple
servers at a single location.
