3Com Solutions: XRN Technology and Clustered Stacking

Tags:
switching

Overview Since 3Com invented the stackable form factor in the early 1990's, it has become the de facto standard for networking vendors because of its flexibility, scalability, and the ability it provides for companies to cost-effectively upgrade their networks as they grow. Over the years, 3Com has continued to build on its innovation with successive generations of the universally known SuperStack brand. The most recent evolution, which includes 3Com's unique eXpandable Resilient Networking (XRN) technology, enables up to eight individual switches to be combined as a single switching and routing entity. It allows network managers to build affordable networks that are highly resilient, deliver exceptional performance and meet today's converged networking demands.
