As part of the SuperStack II range,
the SuperStack II Baseline products can
be integrated smoothly and effectively
into a 3Com enterprise network solution
that employs network management but
that does not require it all the way to
the desktop.
In this example, network management
is used at the core of the network, and
is provided out to the workgroup level
on the floor shown below by the
SuperStack II Switch 3300.
High-performance, unmanaged
connections are then provided to
users’ desktops by the SuperStack
Baseline products, as shown.
Used in this way, reliable, high-speed
network connections can be delivered
to the desktop in an extremely cost-
effective way, while ensuring complete
compatibility and fitting in with the
corporate network structure.
