Overview In today's fast paced economic climate, enterprise companies are continually pressured to do more with less, yet they are expanding their reach nationally and globally at a record pace. The corporate network is being stretched like never before. New applications such as video conferencing and monitoring, file sharing, and Voice over IP (VoIP) demand more bandwidth. Regulatory requirements are putting pressure on IT resources for compliance, and remote locations need to receive the same application support and resources as the corporate network - all without increasing cost. The network has become a critical tool and most corporate IT departments are looking to Ethernet as a solution to help meet the growing list of demands.
