Why Migrate to Gigabit Networking?
     Modern enterprises and organizations rely more and more on LANs to provide network connectivity for a growing variety of complex and mission-critical desktop applications. The increasing multimedia transmission on networks, such as video-conferencing or remote white boarding, and also the converging trend to integrate voice, video and data on a single physical infrastructure are all contributing to more bandwidth-intensive traffic.

   The growing use of 100Base connection, however, is creating a clear need for an even high-bandwidth technology at the backbone and severs level.

   As higher bandwidth has been deployed more and more at the edge of the network, bandwidth at the backbone must increase considerably to accommodate the aggregate traffic. It turns out that the most suitable solution is Gigabit Ethernet.

Gigabit Ethernet over Cat 5 wires or Fiber Optics

   It is anticipated that Gigabit Ethernet-over-Cat 5 wires will primarily be used in server connections. The technology is expected to be less expensive and easier to install. The Gigabit Ethernet over fiber optics will be still available for backbone system where prices are not the key issue. The OvisLink Gigabit switches provide the capability to migrate both together.

Super Stack Cascade Gigabit Speed

     For Large LANs, Cascade stacking up shows perfect solution to expand station connectivity at effective cost and highest speed. The released soon OvisLink Super Stack switch will provide unique cascade feature, therefore, data transmission between two switches will be forwarding at 2.7Gbps backbone speed.
