Single IP Management (SIM), a simple and useful method to optimize network utilities and
management, is designed to manage a group of switches as a single entity, called an SIM

 Simplify management of small workgroups or wiring closets while scaling networks to
handle increased bandwidth demand.

the distance barriers that typically limit topology options when using other stacking
technology.
