Leading PC Manufacturer in Australia Fulfills e-Commerce Strategy With Secure 3Com Enterprise Data and Wireless Switches
Overview Computer networks are vital for most enterprises, but for Acer Computer Australia (Acer), a regional division of Acer Computer, the world's fourth largest marketer of PC products, a network stoppage could be catastrophic. With even a minute of downtime affecting its revenues, Acer relied on a single, legacy Cisco switch, which was a potential point of failure. Should the device falter for any reason, the entire network would be crippled. The company decided to replace the system with state-of-the-art enterprise switching technology that was standards-based to avoid the added costs of proprietary technology. In August 2005, Acer replaced its Cisco switch with two redundant, 3Com Switch 8814 platforms. Each device is provisioned with seven 24-port 1000BASE-X modules, providing 168 Gigabit Ethernet ports in each chassis.
