The Move to Fast Ethernet

Computer networks lie at the heart of most organization's internal operations, supporting workflow automation and office productivity.  For years, 10 Mbps Ethernet has been a mainstay of many networking infrastructures.  The technology's reliable performance, easy setup, and simple management have proven effective for linking workgroups and LAN segments along the edge of networks.  

Over time, however, far greater demands have been placed on networks.  For users to meet their business objectives today, they need large, sophisticated applications such as complex databases and multimedia tools to provide additional capabilities and features.  Users also increasingly require access to bandwidth-intensive services like file server, intranet servers, and video conferencing.  

To meet these demands, many organizations are upgrading their Ethernet links to greater speeds.  The easiest and most commonly used strategy is to migrate to the 100 Mbps performance of Fast Ethernet.  Based on the Ethernet standard, Fast Ethernet is a proven technology that is compatible with existing Ethernet LAN environments.  Due to its economy, stability, and compatibility, Fast Ethernet is an ideal solution for boosting the performance of workgroups and LAN segments.
