provides a straightforward upgrade without
wasting a company’s existing investment in
hardware, software, and trained personnel.
The increased speed and extra bandwidth
offered by Gigabit Ethernet is essential to coping
with the network bottlenecks that frequently
develop as computers and their busses get faster
and more users use applications that generate
more traffic. Upgrading key components, such as
your backbone and servers to Gigabit Ethernet
can greatly improve network response times as
well as significantly speed up the traffic between
your subnets.
Gigabit Ethernet enables Twisted-Pair cable
connections to support video conferencing,
complex imaging, and similar data-intensive
applications. Likewise, since data transfers
occur 10 times faster than Fast Ethernet,
servers outfitted with Gigabit Ethernet NIC’s
are able to perform 10 times the number of
operations in the same amount of time.
