LAN

There are many demands being made on the Local Area Network as users look for the ability to transfer large files, prioritise business applications, voice over the network, video, fast access to the Internet, e-mail, and much more. This is creating an upward pressure from users to IT managers to increase network bandwidth, moving to Gigabit.

With particular focus on the desire to use the LAN to deliver voice and video, it is essential that this type of traffic can be prioritised to deliver Quality of Service. Network upgrades must include network switches, intelligent and manageable devices that can deliver this capability.
